My character different from Juhi's in Darr remake: Priya

Actress Priya Banerjee, who reprises Juhi Chawla's role in the eponymous remake of 1993 film ‘Darr’, says her role is quite different from the original character that it is based on.

"This is a remake with a twist. Although I play Juhi's part, our roles are very different from each other and that makes the remake stand out," said Priya, who is paired with Karanvir Bohra in the film.

She's aware there will be comparisons, but considers it an honour to be part of a celebrated film. "I can already feel lot of pressure and because our roles are being compared, the expectations are very high," she said. The makers had initially considered Ileana D'Cruz, but destiny worked in Priya's favour.

"They were also in talks with a Pakistani actress, who was almost confirmed. However, things didn't fall in place and they finally approached me. I was shooting for another film and didn't have dates," said Priya, who was moved when the makers adjusted the dates for her.
