would
love
to
work
with
actress
Vidya

"Vidya
is
someone
who
I
would
love
to
cast
in
the
film.
She
is
a
dear
friend
with
a
great
temperament.
She
is
an
easy
person
to
be
with
and
is
a
powerhouse
performer," stated
Dia.
She
also
expressed
about
few
other
talented
actresses
that
she'd
like
to
cast
in
her
films.
"I
would
love
to
work
with
Huma
Qureshi
and
Richa
Chadda,
they
are
very
talented
actors," she
added.
Dia
co-owns
the
production
house
along
with
her
beau,
businessman
Sahil
Sangha,
and
actor
Zayed
Khan.
Talking
about
the
status
of
her
upcoming
projects,
Dia
mentioned,
"We
are
in
the
process
of
developing
three
films."
"We
will
start
filming
in
October.
We
have
invested
a
year-and-a-half
in
scripting.
It
is
everything
that
we
stand
by.
All
the
three
movies
will
release
in
the
middle
of
next
year,"
she
explained.
The
31-year-old
actress
says
that
there
is
a
common
thread
between
all
the
three
stories.
"They
are
all
human
interest
stories.
If
I
had
to
streamline
the
genre,
I
would
say
each
one
of
them
is
coming-of-age
stories.
The
milieu
of
the
characters
is
different.
I
am
excited
about
the
quality
of
writing.
Each
writer
was
given
a-year-and-a-half.
It
has
been
an
exciting
and
exasperating
process,"
she
said.
"A
lot
of
us
are
in
a
hurry
to
just
make
a
film.
I
was
clear
that
whatever
I
do,
it
should
take
care
of
everything.
The
priority
was
story.
I
wanted
to
tell
unique
stories,"
she
said.
The
actress
also
added
that
she
is
not
keen
on
acting
in
her
films.
"I
will
not
take
up
any
role
if
the
film
does
not
need
me,"
she
said.
