Divya Dutta plans to turn director

Mumbai: Actress Divya Dutta, who has proved herself as an actor with movies like ‘Veer-Zaara’ and ‘Delhi-6’, says she now wants to try her hands at film direction.

"I would love to direct films and it`s certainly on the cards," Divya told reporters. However, there`s still some time before she dons the director`s hat. "I am lucky that I have worked with some wonderful directors so far -- Madhur Bhandarkar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, among others. I am planning to direct films in the future, but nothing right now," she added. Divya believes assisting a director before taking up the task single-handedly is not necessary. "You don`t need to assist anybody to become director," said Divya, who is busy writing her first book in the meantime. "Writing is something I am doing right now. I was always passionate about writing. I am writing a novel right now. Writing comes naturally to me like acting.” IANS
