When Preity Zinta signed a Punjabi film of Deepa Mehta, she did not know that it was to be shot entirely in Punjabi. But it was entirely shot in Punjabi, and Preity had very difficult time to complete the shoot.

She said to a paper, - The problem of the language hit me later when I was told about the long monologues I was expected to deliver in Punjabi. As I am a Rajput girl from Himachal Pradesh, Punjabi was totally alien to me.

But Preity did manage to learn the language in a short span of 50 days. “You could call it a crash course,” she says. “But I only mastered the dialogues that I was required to mouth in the film. Heaven On Earth wasn’t a film about faking emotions. I had to deliver my dialogue and feel the emotions,” she adds.

Released in Toronto, Heaven On Earth will soon be dubbed in Hindi and distributed in India. All is well for the owner of Punjab IPL team. So what if she do not know how to speak in Punjabi.
