Diana Penty : Movie making business is a gamble

There are strokes of myriad emotions and feelings on the canvas of Indian cinema, but Diana Penty feels beyond that, the whole movie-making business is a big gamble — but one that actors have to take.

“The whole movie-making business is such a gamble at the end of the day — something works, something doesn’t. It is a gamble you have to take. So yes, there is a certain amount of pressure, but I can’t let that govern the way I go about for my next project,” Diana told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

After her modelling stint, Diana ventured into Bollywood with “Cocktail” — which also featured Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone — in 2012. Her role of a demure Indian girl named Meera stayed with the audience despite the presence of Saif and Deepika.

But she maintained her distance from the big screen after her debut. She came back to the silver screen last year with “Happy Bhag Jayegi”, in which she was seen as a carefree Happy.

She concluded by saying that she has “been meeting people (for next project)… It will not take four years, I promise. I am working on it and this time it will not take long”.
