New Delhi: Shooting for ‘Sangharsh’ was tough, said Preity Zinta, adding she would like her 1999 film to get a sequel. In a Q&A session on ‘X’, she was asked to name a film from her career whose story is further explored in the second part.
“‘Sangharsh’ for sure. Rest can’t think of any right now,” Zinta said as part of the #PZChat.
The 49-year-old actor, who will next be seen in the period drama ‘Lahore 1947’, said that she broke her leg, chipped her teeth and cut her lip during the shooting of ‘Sangharsh’. Directed by Tanuja Chandra, the movie also starred Akshay Kumar and Ashutosh Rana. The psychological horror thriller opened to positive reviews, with critical acclaim for the performances by Zinta and Kumar, as well as Rana’s villainous turn.
“It was definitely a tough shoot and it terrified me with so many hospital visits. Ashutosh was definitely mind-blowing in the film,” she added.
A section of ‘X’ users also asked Zinta, who has been away from the big screen for a while now, about starring in a film with frequent co-stars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Her last film release was 2018’s ‘Bhaiaji Superhit’.
“When we get a mind-blowing script together that only he and I can do. Till then, I got to wait,” she said about reuniting with Shah Rukh, with whom she worked on films such as ‘Dil Se..’ and ‘Veer-Zaara’.
Calling Shah Rukh a powerhouse of talent, she said that he is ‘one of the most generous & fun actors to work with’. If there is a good script, everything is possible, said Zinta, when asked about working with Salman. The two have collaborated on several movies, including ‘Chori Chori Chupke Chupke’ and ‘Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega’.
