Mumbai: After two back-to-back hit films -
"Cocktail" and "Happy Bhag Jayegi", actor Diana Penty says the
failure of her last release "Lucknow Central" did bother her
but she still thinks it was a great story.
Diana starred opposite Farhan Akhtar in "Lucknow
Central".
"Anyone who's worked on a film would want their work
to be watched and appreciated. I signed 'Lucknow Central'
because it was a story I wanted to be part of. I still stand
by the fact that it was a well written, well directed film
with some great performances," Diana says in an interview PTI.
"Unfortunately, it got lost along the way. But these
(referring to failure) are experiences you learn from and grow
with. They (failure) motivate you to work harder."
Her next venture is "Happy Bhag Jayegi Returns", a
first sequel for the 32-year-old actor and she is super
excited about it.
Eros International and Aanand L Rai's Colour Yellow
Productions are working on the sequel to "Happy Bhag Jayegi"
and the team has roped in Sonakshi Sinha as well for the
second part.
"I am excited to play 'Happy' all over again! I loved
playing this character that is so different from me in real
life. But at the same time it has been the biggest challenge
for me so far.
"At the moment I'm not thinking so much about the
pressure and expectations as much as how much fun it's going
to be being 'Happy' again," she says.
"Happy Bhag Jayegi" directed by Mudassar Aziz, which
released in August last year, turned out to be a surprise hit.
It also featured Abhay Deol, Ali Fazal and Jimmy Shergill.
