Faf du Plessis and Preity Zinta Spark Buzz Online After IPL Match—Fans Demand Movie Collab!
May 26, 2025: The IPL is no stranger to mixing cricket with Bollywood glitz, and Saturday night at Sawai Mansingh Stadium was no exception. After a thrilling face-off between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC), a moment off the field stole the spotlight — a photo of PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta and DC’s stand-in skipper Faf du Plessis together quickly went viral on social media, prompting fan-fueled calls for a movie collaboration between the two stars.
One fan tweet that blew up on X (formerly Twitter) read:
“Someone please cast @faf1307 and @realpreityzinta in a movie already. He’s got the action-hero vibe. She’s aging like fine wine. Put them in a sports drama or a royal romance — don’t waste this visual perfection!”
To everyone’s delight, Du Plessis himself quote-tweeted the post with a cheeky response:
“Make it happen.” 🔥
The playful comment sent fans into a frenzy, with the viral photo of the cricketer and the actress standing side by side becoming an instant favorite across social platforms.
While Bollywood-cricket crossovers aren’t new, this particular pairing caught fans off guard in the best way — an unlikely yet striking duo that fans say “looks straight out of a movie poster.”
Zinta, often seen cheering for her team from the stands, looked radiant in traditional attire, while Faf exuded the charisma of a seasoned sportsman. The idea of them teaming up for a sports drama or royal period film already has netizens suggesting plotlines and casting fan-fiction online.
Whether the dream collaboration ever comes to life or remains a fan fantasy, one thing’s for sure — the internet has spoken, and they’re here for this duo on and off the field.
