Always wanted to be a part of true stories, says Diana Penty

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Diana Penty will be next seen in “Lucknow Central”, which is inspired by a true story, and the actor says she likes being part of films that are based on real-life incidents.

Set against the backdrop of a jail, “Lucknow Central” features Farhan Akhtar as a prisoner who forms a band along with other jail inmates.

“I have always wanted to be a part of stories that I have felt strongly about and ‘Lucknow Central’ is one such story. I instantly took to it when Nikkhil Advani (producer) told me about it.

“Playing Gayatri (her character) after my last release ‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’ was refreshing. And I like the idea of being part of a story that is based on true events,” Diana told.

The film also stars Deepak Dobriyal, Ronit Roy, Rajesh Sharma, and Punjabi actor-singer Gippy Grewal. For the first time, the “Cocktail” actor has teamed up with Farhan for a film.
