Of late, a number of female stars including Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra and Chitrangda Singh\u00a0 have turned to production. But actor Sonam K Ahuja is all set to take a different route and will become a director instead. \u201cI have found a couple of scripts. They are mostly ready, but it will still take a little time to work on them and finalise them. I think I am going to do something [with regard to directing a film] in a year or two,\u201d says the actor.<\/p>\n
But can we safely assumed that she wield the megaphone by 2020? \u201cOne half of 2018 is already over. That\u2019s why I feel it should happen in another one-and-a-half to two years. I intend to continue acting and direct as well not in the same film, but at the same time. So let\u2019s see how things go,\u201d says Sonam, adding that all the directors that she has worked with so far have also encouraged her to take up direction.<\/p>\n
Sonam feels that she\u2019s encouraged to direct because her mind works like a director\u2019s. \u201cBe it Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Aanand L Rai, R Balki or Ram Madhvani any director that I work with has told me, \u2018Please direct [a film]\u2019. But it\u2019s surely not happening right now, as I am too tired from working so much. Touchwood, it\u2019s great that I have work, but I need to take some time off to direct. It could be two to three years,\u201d says the Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015) director.<\/p>\n
Sonam has been spent more than a decade in the industry (she debuted with Saawariya in 2007), but does she feel she understands the business completely? The actor says, \u201cSince Raanjhanaa, I have had a lot of acceptance from the audience and media, so everything has just become better. For me, it\u2019s all about the intention, my integrity and working really hard, besides being humble and not taking anything for granted. It is really important to have your feet planted on the ground and always being grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
