Film maker Deepa Mehta has signed Preity Zinta as a leading lady in her forthcoming film titled Heaven On Earth.

Preity Zinta will play the role of a tortured wife in this film.

Deepa Mehta was in Mumbai recently to narrate the script to Preity. She says, “I had to narrate the script to Preity. We spent nearly six hours together. I really think Preity is a lovely girl. She is willing to make adjustments. She knows the level of discipline required from her and she’s willing to make every possible effort to fit in.”
