Aishwarya Rai might not be acting regularly but she definitely wants to direct soon

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might not be regular with films of late but she's keen to explore other paradigms of film business than just acting. The actress latest on-screen outing, Fanney Khan has hit the theatres today August 3. She just announced her next, title Gulab Jamun, with Abhishek Bachchan, directed by Anurag Kashyap.

Admitting that some 'exciting' scripts are still coming her way and she's likely to act more in the coming years, Aish says that she would also love to direct films.

In an interview with a leading daily, the light-eyed-beauty mentioned that she has worked enough in the industry to understand the nuances of direction and would like to give it a shot. Aish said, "Direction does interest me. In a few years from now, I will surely turn director. All my directors and co- stars have teased me about it. Even AB (Abhishek Bachchan) tells me that I should explore it".

However, the mother-of-one is sure that whenever direction happens for her, she's not going to take it for granted. She explained, "When I do direct, I will throw myself whole- heartedly in it. It will never be a fly- by-night commitment for me, as my work consumes me completely. Even though I had only four scenes in Fanney Khan, I would have endless talks with Atul Manjrekar (the director) to understand them fully".

In Fanney Khan, Aishwarya is playing the character of a international pop sensation. The film also features Anil Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Divya Dutta in other pivotal roles.
