Diana Penty on Monday said that she initially thought of playing roles similar to her role in her debut film 'Cocktail', but then decided to challenge herself and hence chose a completely&nbsp;different character in the film 'Happy Bhag Jayegi'.

"I have a certain sensibility. I get bored very easily so when I read a script and like it, that's something that I want to watch maybe and be associated with something like that. Also character-wise,&nbsp;I'd like to play different kinds of roles and not the same thing because I like to do things that are challenging, otherwise what's the point of doing the same thing again."
"In the beginning, after 'Cocktail', I thought of playing the same kind of roles, because it is safe, I know how to play it and it is very close to me. But then I thought about it, I had so many years to&nbsp;think about, why not do something completely different," said Diana, who was shooting for a song from "Happy Bhag Jayegi" here.
Diana returns to the big screen after a four-year gap post 'Cocktail'. About the reasons for the break, she said, "There is a right time for everything and I was looking for the right script. I was&nbsp;meeting people, reading scripts, but somehow nothing ever clicked and this was the first script that clicked with me."
"It made sense to do a character after so long which is completely different from the first one. So it gave me more to do, it was a challenge for me," she added.
Diana's character in 'Happy Bhag Jayegi' is a runaway bride, does she intend to run away again from the industry? "I am going to do more films, don't worry. I am not going to 'bhaago' this time,"&nbsp;she said.
She also returns to dance after the hit song 'Tumhi Ho Bandhu' from her debut film, with the song 'Gabru Ready To Mingle Hai'.
"It's a really fun song, it has been sung by Mika, who is a pleasure to work with, and choreographed by Caeser, who I have worked with before, so it was very comfortable and fun to be back and&nbsp;do these steps which are very catchy," she said.
'Happy Bhag Jayegi' also stars Abhay Deol, Jimmy Sheirgill and Ali Fazal.
