DHAKA: The film will also feature Sunny Deol as a gangster from Uttar Pradesh.

According to Pathak, Preity Zinta has pulled it off with aplomb. ‘Preity plays an Uttar Pradeshwali. She plays a gangster’s daughter. She’s no-nonsense UP gangster and Sunny Deol’s wife,’ he added, reports Hindustan Times.

Apparently Preity’s transformation into a foul-mouthed rustic bandit was so convincing that Sunny wants to cast her as Sohni’s Punjabi mother in the remake of Sohni Mahiwal, a film that the actor reportedly wants to do with his son in the lead.

Pathak said, ‘Preity’s interpretation of the firebrand wife’s character is bang-on. She will not be seen as only for urbane sophisticated roles after Bhaiyyaji. We’ve 12 days’ shooting left. We will complete the shooting post-monsoon’.

In the past Preity had worked with both Sunny and Bobby in ‘The Hero: Love Story Of A Spy and Soldier’. Interestingly, both the films were hits.
