Penty is Plenty

Diana Penty, a stunning model from the fashion industry, recently became the latest sensation in Bollywood after being cast by director Imtiaz Ali for his upcoming film, Rockstar, opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Imtiaz had been on the lookout for a fresh face to pair with Ranbir for some time.

A source confirmed the news, stating, “There were many speculations regarding the female lead in Imtiaz Ali’s film. At one stage, Anushka Sharma was almost finalized. However, he ultimately concluded that he wanted to select a new girl for his film and has finally chosen Diana Penty.”

Interestingly, popular actresses like Katrina, Sonam, Anushka, and Kareena were also in the running for the role that Imtiaz decided to cast Penty in. She had previously done an advertisement for a mobile service provider alongside Ranbir and made headlines when she took over Deepika’s role as a facial cosmetics brand ambassador.

Regarding the film, the source further mentioned, “Ashtavinayaka is producing the film, the same production house that collaborated with Imtiaz for ‘Jab We Met’.”

‘Rockstar’ stands out as one of Imtiaz’s most ambitious projects. Initially, John Abraham was supposed to be the lead, and he had a collaboration with UTV, but then he opted to direct ‘Love Aaj Kal’ instead.

Once ‘Love Aaj Kal’ had its release, he presented the concept to Ranbir, who promptly agreed to participate in the project. Imtiaz had been weighing various options for the female lead in ‘Rockstar’, and at long last, his search has come to an end.
