Sushmita
Sen
had
ambitious
plans
of
diversifying
into
film
production.
In
fact,
the
talented
actress
had
decided
to
make
a
film
on
Rani
Laxmibai
and
had
approached
Salman
Khan
to
star
and
Shekhar
Kapur
to
direct
the
film.
What
happened?
"Salman
said
he'd
allot
dates
after
Veer.
He
didn't
want
to
shoot
two
period
films
simultaneously.
As
for
Shekhar,
the
moment
he
heard
me
out,
he
said
that
that
I
was
more
qualified
to
direct
the
film
since
I
had
worked
too
minutely
on
the
script," Sushmita
informs
me.
Sushmita
says
that
if
she
ever
plans
to
direct
a
film,
it
would
be
on
the
life
of
Rani
Laxmibai.
"We
did
thorough
research
on
the
subject.
But
I've
decided
to
keep
my
film
production
plans
on
hold
for
the
time
being
and
concentrate
on
acting
completely,"
she
divulges.
