Preity Zinta said her preoccupation with Indian Premier League earlier and now the 'Unforgettables' world concert did not mean that she has put her film career on the backburner.

She was presently dubbing for 'Har Pal' and shooting for 'Main aur Mrs Khanna'.her forthcoming releases are a natural progression for her from a mainstream commercial film actor to doing meaty roles with substance."I was going through the same grind and naturally wanted some challenging work. When you grow older, you need more substance. I am fortunate that when I yearned for a change, it came from all sides," she added.

SThe NRI bracket associated with my films because all of them were shot abroad, was killing me. Hence, I decided to go desi in my forthcoming films," she added.
