"Heaven on Earth" is a forthcoming Canadian film directed and written by Deepa Mehta. Preity Zinta plays the leading role of Chand, a young Indian Punjabi woman who finds herself in an abusive arranged marriage with an Indo-Canadian man, played by theatre actor Vansh Bhardwaj.

Production

Deepa Mehta penned the screenplay in 2007.K Jha, Subhash (September 26, 2007). [http://www.indiafm.com/news/2007/09/26/10157/index.html Deepa Mehta signs Preity for Heaven On Earth] . indiaFM.com. Accessed October 1, 2007.] She met Preity Zinta at the 2007 International Indian Film Academy Awards and offered her the role of a Punjabi houswife. Initially, Zinta could not commit to the project because of dates problems but they have been worked out and Zinta signed the film. Seema Biswas, who was part of Mehta's previous project "Water" was also chosen to be part of the cast,CBC news (September 7, 2007). [http://www.cbc.ca/arts/film/story/2007/09/07/mehta-film.html Mehta set to shoot feature Heaven on Earth] . Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Accessed October 1, 2007.] but she eventually did not act. Mehta, who saw "The Last Lear" (2007) starring Zinta in the lead female role, said "I think Preity is perfect!". Yet she organized an acting workshop for Zinta in Toronto, which Zinta attended in September "to understand and come to grips with the character's milieu and body language. I think Preity can look very, very Punjabi." said Mehta.

Principal photography for "Heaven on Earth" commenced in November 2007 and concluded at the end of December 2007. The film was primarily shot in Toronto, Canada, with additional location shooting in Punjab, India, where it was completed. [TNN (December 8, 2007).
