Actress Preity Zinta who has remained MIA from the film industry for quite some time now has turned producer for the upcoming 'Iskhq In Paris'. Helping her with her project is none other than her pal and filmmaker Karan Johar, who has apparently gone the extra mile to give her a friendly helping hand. News is that Karan has been in touch with the 'Soldier' actress and has been helping her pan out any issues she faces on her maiden production venture.
Also by her side has been Dharma Productions' CEO Apoorva Mehta. An insider said, “Since 'IIP' is Preity's first film as a producer, she sought Karan's advice on various aspects of production. And he has gone all out to do whatever he could.” They added that be it marketing, post-production or commercial aspects like theatrical and satellite rights, KJo has been a constant source of help. The filmmaker himself confirmed the news saying, “Yes, Preity has been in touch. Everyone at Dharma is very fond of her. In fact, she is one of my favorite female stars. So, Apoorva and I are always available for any assistance.”
The insider added, “Managing a film's production, including marketing, promotions and other jobs isn't easy. And who could be a better person in Bollywood than Karan to advise on production? Preity is grateful to him, since any advice is always handy for a new producer.”
