Diana Penty, who
portrayed the lead role in the family entertainer, Happy Bhag Jayegi released
last year, will be seen playing an NGO worker in her forthcoming film, Lucknow
Central.
The movie produced by
Nikhil Advani and marks the directorial debut of Ranjit Tiwari, will see Diana
share the screen space with Farhan Akhar for the first time.
It was during the look
test that Diana met Farhan for the first time. “I met Farhan for the first time
when we were shooting the look test for Lucknow Central and then when the whole
cast came together for a few readings. I have always great respect for him as
an actor, director, writer, musician and producer.”
Talking about Lucknow
Central, she says, “I had a meeting with Nikhil Advani and when he told me
about Lucknow Central in brief, it immediately piqued my interest. The next day
I met Ranjit (Tiwari) for a full narration of the film and was convinced that
this is a story I wanted to be part of. We did a reading the day after. Before
I knew it, I had landed the role and was shooting for the look test!”
“What makes Lucknow
Central special besides its storyline is the coming together of a stellar cast.
Each one of them is so experienced and talented that I have much to learn from
them all. When you're in the midst of such fine talent, you're bound to gain
some,” she adds.
Lucknow Central is
inspired by a true story of convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in the
Lucknow Central Jail, who start a band and discover pride, self confidence and
a reason to wake up every morning. Diana plays an NGO worker who puts the
prisoners on the path of reform.
