Akshay Kumar may direct a film in few years

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar who had written “Namastey London” and also turned producer with his Hari Om Productions is now expected to direct a film soon.

Akshay said, “I wrote ‘Namastey London’ I had given the concept of ‘Waqt — The Race Against Time’ I don’t sit and write a story. I meet people and if their stories touch me, I try putting them on the big screen. In ‘Namastey London’, the character is real. He is a friend of mine from Jalandhar. It happened to him.”

Confirming the directorial plans, Akki said: “As of now, no. But you never know. Three years back, if you would have asked me whether I will produce a film, I would have said no. But then I became a producer…anything can happen in this industry. After three-four years, I might direct a film as well.”

Akshay’s upcoming film “Housefull” directed by Sajid Khan is all set to release on this Friday.

Akshay is portrayed as an unlucky man in the film but appreciating his good luck in life, Akshay said, “I have been lucky with my life. I made a good career. I didn’t have any godfather in the industry. Whatever I have achieved in life is because of my luck and a little bit of hard work.”

Besides the Bollywood Khiladi, the movie also stars Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan, Arjun Rampal and Riteish Deshmukh. It has been shot in Britain, Italy, Hong Kong and India.
