Preity and Neil to feature in a timepiece ad

It is not only films where young actors are being paired opposite older actresses. After working in films with Rimii Sen and Bipasha Basu, Neil is now teaming up with an actress older than him for an ad film.

He is endorsing an Italian luxury watch with Preity Zinta. The actress shot for the ad two days before leaving for the IPL in South Africa.

Says a source from the brand, "Neil was the only option for this ad because of his international looks.

His stubble gives him a rugged look, which is what the client was looking for. And Priety was selected for her strong presence in the international market and for her sophistication."
