Kareena Kapoor Khan doesn't want to direct
Kareena Kapoor Khan has made the move into producing with 'The Buckingham Murders' but she doesn't want to add directing to her skill set.
Kareena Kapoor Khan "definitely" doesn't want to direct.
The 43-year-old actress has made the move into producing with her latest movie 'The Buckingham Murders', but she insisted she isn't planning to further step behind the scenes and take the helm behind the camera because it is "so much more responsibility.
Asked if she's interested in directing, she told IndieWire: “Definitely not. It’s just such a different aspect to things, the way you look at a film and the way an actor performs affects the camera. It’s so much more responsibility, so much more time.
"This is a first and it’s always a seed into something — you never really know. But the fact that it’s not a typical Bollywood movie with the regular kind of song-and-dance culture, that’s what is slightly different.”
And when it came to producing 'The Buckingham Murders', Kareena admitted she left the "creative aspects" to director Hansal Mehta and fellow producer Ektaa Kapoor.
She said: “I’ve never really taken any creative decisions.
“I’ve always been more like a hired gun on a project, where I’ve signed on as an actor, and I do my job.
"I love acting and honestly, even in this film, the creative aspects have been Hansal through everything. He’s the captain of the ship … because I love the story, I lent my name, but apart from too many creative decisions Hansal and Ektaa and Balaji [Telefilms] are doing all that.”
She then laughed as she added: “I’m not really very good at all this."
