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.”

Bonnie Greer, playwright who never lost her edge, dies at 77

Bonnie Greer left Chicago's South Side wanting to be a lawyer, until a professor told her outright that he didn't think women belonged in law. She switched to theatre instead, studied under David Mamet in Chicago and Elia Kazan at New York's Actors Studio, and by the late 1970s was living in Manhattan's West Village. Then AIDS started taking her friends, one after another, and by 1986 she'd had enough. A production brought her to the Edinburgh Festival that year. She stayed in Britain for good, telling the Sunday Times two decades later that the move had saved her life — she needed, in her words, to "escape the shadow of death."

That's the Bonnie Greer most obituaries will lead with: American, Black, an outsider who came to Britain running from something. What's stranger, and more interesting, is what she became once she got here.
