Can I perform 'sudo' actions with different password other than my login password?

Is there any way to achieve this?

No, you can not.

sudo basically enables one to impersonate other user (by default root) by providing the credential for the user who is running the sudo command (given the user running sudo is in the sudoers file with sufficient privilege).

At most, you can run specific commands with NOPASSWD parameter so that those commands while running with sudo won't require your password but in all other cases you can not use any other password rather than your account's one.
