She
made
her
directorial
debut
with
Dil
Aashna
Hai
more
than
a
decade
ago.
Hema
Malini,
the
Numero
Uno
star
of
1970s
and
1980s,
is
keen
to
direct
a
film
again.
"Times
were
different
then.
Directing
a
film
and
handling
the
responsibility
of
film
production
was
tough
then.
But
things
are
much
easier
today.
People
are
more
accessible
and
professional," she
smiles
radiantly.
There were reports that she's keen to cast Rekha and Esha together in her film. There's also talk that a prominent director had approached the real-life mother-daughter combination of Hema-Esha to star in his film. "People want to see Esha and me together. That's an ambition I wish to fulfill some day. As for the film I wish to make, its script is still not complete," she admits.
Rumors are rife that younger daughter Ahana is ready to face the camera. "I really wish these rumors were true. But I don't like to force my decision on the kids. In fact, Ahana has enrolled in Subhash Ghai's Whistling Woods and is learning editing and direction. She wants to make films some day. It's her wish, after all," the proud mother states.
Hema also feels that Esha has grown as an actor. "She was good in a small part in Main Aisa Hi Hoon. It was a tough role to portray. I also liked her performance in Ankahee. And now she's trying out something different in Cash. It's her first out-and-out action role," she adds.
