Mumbai: Bollywood actors have been donning the director’s cap ever so often, some have in fact given great cinema, while others, well, we had rather that they go back to acting.
But there is a whole new lot of filmy heroes who are raring to go with their directorial ventures. First up, being Aamir Khan, who is often accused of shadow-directing his films.
Now, Aamir has asked Amol Gupte to pack his bags and took over Taarein Zameen Par as his own baby instead.
“I am not the kind of man who can produce or direct a film a year, but Taarein Zameen Par is such a script that I wanted to make this film myself,” says Aamir.
In fact, even South Indian star Madhavan is all set to direct a Hindi-Tamil bilingual flick by 2008, just like his debut flick Alai Payuthe.
Although, actor Rahul Bose didn’t exactly win accolades for his first film Everybody Says I Am Fine, he is once again inspired to adapt Pakistani author Mohsin Hamid's novel Moth Smoke for celluloid.
“We locked on the fourth draft. I would like to make this film in the beginning of the next winter because I am still putting all the things together,” Rahul says.
While we can't be sure whether these actors will direct as well as they act, we sure hope that their behind-the-scene ventures do bring out a few memorable on-screen moments.
