According to a leading daily, When Diana was asked how did she land up in Parmanu, she said, "I got a call from John’s office saying Abhishek Sharma wanted to meet me and he took me through what he had in his mind. I was very intrigued to know how I could fit into this space, it’s a man’s world literally, but I was very excited to know that he even thought of a woman character, so to play a strong woman in a predominantly male world is a very special aspect of this film."

"I was given equal standing, somebody asked me the other day if was I treated equally, and I was like that didn’t even cross my mind, because I was treated equally," she added.

Soon after her answer, producer John stepped in and said, "Talking about Daina’s role, in an industry where, which is still unfortunately very prevalent where a woman has 2 or 3 songs and few scenes. But in this film, there are 6 characters and there is no hero in this film, the hero is a story.”

Apart from this, John is also planning to work on his next action franchise 'Attack'
