Preity Zinta’s first film was Dil Se
Preity Zinta started her career 26 years ago with Shahrukh Khan and Manisha Koirala’s film ‘Dil Se’. The film did not perform well at the box office and Preity Zinta’s first film was a flop. After this, in the same year 1998, when Preity Zinta’s second film ‘Soldier’ ​​with Bobby Deol came out, this film proved to be a superhit. Although he finished shooting for Soldier before Shah Rukh and Manisha’s film, how did his first film ‘Dil Se’ turn out?
‘Soldier’ ​​was Preity Zinta’s first film as a lead actress. However, Shah Rukh Khan’s Dil Se was released before the release of Abbas-Mastan’s film and became Preity’s first film. In an interview, Ramesh Taurani said that he had earlier signed Preity Zinta for the film ‘Kya Kehna’. But that movie was released in the year 2000. This film was being made then. Meanwhile, he was cast in ‘Soldier’ ​​with Bobby Deol.
‘It was made from the heart at the appointed time’
Ramesh Taurani further stated that he had signed a contract with Preity for ‘Soldier’ ​​that whatever happens, her film will release first. During this time, he got an offer for the film ‘Dil Se’ and allowed Preeti to do the small part. That too on the condition that he would stick to the agreement he made with them. But after this something happened that ‘Dil Se’ was made on time and on the other hand ‘Soldier’ ​​was also ready for release.
Ramesh Taurani agreed
But then Ramesh Taurani’s ‘Soldier’ ​​got delayed as the music of Bobby Deol’s film ‘Kareeb’, which preceded ‘Soldier’, was slated to release in June. Only after this will the ‘soldier’ ​​come. Seeing this delay, Shah Rukh Khan and Mani Ratnam approached him and asked him to release ‘Dil Se’ before ‘Soldier’. Ramesh Taurani agreed to this. Thus, ‘Dil Se’ released before ‘Soldier’ ​​and ‘Kya Kehna’ and became Preity Zinta’s first film.
