Not confident enough to direct a film, says Anil Kapoor

Actor-producer Anil Kapoor is not keen on adding another role to his professional profile. While his daughter Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has expressed an interest in getting behind the camera, Anil says that he’s not confident enough to direct a film.

“Everybody’s asked me to direct a film. When I worked with Vidhu Vinod Chopra on 1942 A Love Story, his team would tell me that I’d make a good director, but I don’t feel confident,” he says.

The actor, who’s currently busy promoting his upcoming film Fanney Khan, says that he can’t think technically.

“I know it’s been over 20 years since the release of Parinda. But I was not confident then, and I’m not confident now. Even on the last day of the Ek Ladki Ko…shoot, the team asked me why I didn’t feel like trying my hand at direction. But I can’t think technically. I can only think emotionally,” the 61-year-old star says.
