Direction is on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s mind

While fans are waiting to know which film she is doing next after putting up a special appearance in Fanney Khan (2018), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan seems in no hurry to sign her next project as the female lead. However, she has shown her interest in going behind the camera and direct a film.

Many of her contemporaries have forayed into film production in the past few years. When the former Miss World was asked if she would also like to venture into production, she replied, “There are a lot of talks happening about production. I have been getting feedback from many people, so, it’s encouraging. However, I haven’t seriously dwelled on this thought.”


She added, “I have worked in the industry for years now. I’ve always been an extremely committed actor and these are roles which demand the highest amount of commitment. I believe I have the acumen to do it myself today. I have always been a team player and made sure my colleagues, director, producer and everyone else is on the same page. So, I guess it’s meant to be.”

The actress further went to say that direction interests her and she is keen to helm a film someday. “Direction is on my mind. I do want to direct a movie someday. There has been chatter, but I have never set time and energy to work on it. Now, I should be seriously thinking about it. My colleagues have always teased me and said, ‘Why don’t you turn a producer or director and make a film of your own?’ So, maybe, a few years down the line, I should be able to live up to it.”
