The Mumbai-based star shared a casual, wet-haired selfie on social media platform X, hinting at announcements to come.
What Preity Zinta said
In her post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Preity wrote, ‘Taking a moment to chill before a big day of work & a new project I cannot wait to share with all of you. So excited……. Ting !’ The teaser-style update has set off speculation among fans about the nature of her next assignment.
Next up: 'Vibe' with Kunal Kemmu
Preity will next appear in 'Vibe', an upcoming drama also starring Kunal Kemmu, scheduled to release on 18 September. Produced by Kunal Kemmu and Chirag Nihalani under the banner of Drongo Films, the project marks the production house's first venture.
Written and directed by Kemmu, the film also features Sparsh Shrivastava in a pivotal role alongside debutant Vanshika Dhir. 'Vibe' follows two inseparable friends whose ordinary lives are upended by an unpredictable, high-stakes adventure that tests both their survival instincts and their bond.
'Lahore 1947' in the pipeline
Preity also has 'Lahore 1947' lined up, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and backed by Aamir Khan. The period drama, set against the partition of India, features Sunny Deol as the lead, with Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal, and Abhimanyu Singh in key roles.
A measured return to screen
Preity made her acting debut in 'Dil Se..' in 1998, followed by 'Soldier' the same year, and broke through with her turn as a teenage single mother in 'Kya Kehna' in 2000. Through the 2000s, she built a reputation for playing culturally defiant characters that often pushed against conventional Hindi cinema templates.
Her last big-screen outing was 'Bhaiaji Superhit' in 2018, directed by Neerraj Pathak, which also starred Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Pankaj Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra and Jaideep Ahlawat. With two projects now confirmed and another teased, 2025 is shaping up as Preity's most active year in nearly a decade.
Point of View
Followed by a Santoshi-Aamir Khan partition drama. That's a calculated bet on craft-first projects over star machinery. In an industry where female leads over 40 are routinely sidelined, the choice to anchor herself to writer-director Kunal Kemmu and a historical ensemble signals she is curating, not chasing, screen time.
