Preity Zinta sizzled in red on the red-carpet of the 33rd Toronto International Film Festival, where her forthcoming film Heaven On Earth was premiered.The movie is directed by Mira Nair of the Fire, Water, Earth Trilogy fame . The film revolves around a Punjabi woman, played by Zinta, who moves from India to Canada after marrying an NRI, only to become a victim of domestic violence at the hands of an abusive husband. It is said to be inspired partly by Roddy Doyle’s novel ‘The Woman who Walked into Doors’ and partly by a woman Mehta met in Edmonton who’d been abused for nine years before leaving her husband and joining the police force,
“It’s about immigration and about domestic violence, but it’s also about home. It isn’t just about India either, these are universal issues. We’re not pointing fingers, we just want people to accept that there are such problems in the world and we need to do something to make it better,” Zinta said.
