Shekar Kapur & Priety Zinta

Controversies aside, actress-cum-business woman Preity Zinta says she has the deepest respect for internationally acclaimed director Shekhar Kapur and that she will be always there for him.
'Shekhar is very special to me because he is the one who brought me into this industry. Though that film did not take off, I will always be grateful to him for bringing me to the film industry. I have great respect for him and I will always be there for him,' Preity told IANS in an interview.
Kapur, whose ex-wife Suchitra Krishnamurthy blamed Preity for her divorce, had signed the actress for 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' that was to be directed by Vishal Bharadwaj.
'But the film never took off due to some problems. We sat for a few meetings and worked on the scripts but things did not fall in place so we just let it go,' Preity said.
Is she doing any film with him now? 'No, he did not approach me again.'
What are the films that Preity is working on now?
'I have a lot of films which I have completed shooting for.'
Preity said she has completed Jahnu Barua's 'Har Pal', Rituparno Ghosh's English film 'The Last Lear', Samir Karnik's 'Heroes' and Deepa Mehta's Punjabi film 'Heaven On Earth'.
Out of these, Preity considers 'Heaven On Earth' as the most intense film of her career.
'It is the best film I have ever done. If I am 80-years-old and if someone asks me which film do you want to show people, I would say 'Heaven On Earth'.
'Though 'Har Pal' and 'Heroes' are also very close to my heart, I think 'Heaven On Earth' was altogether a different journey for me.'
The film has a host of award-winning actors from stage and is expected to hit the marquee later this year.
