Following in the footsteps of her mother, filmmaker Aparna Sen, actress Konkona Sen Sharma is all set to make her debut as a director. While the subject is being kept closely guarded, sources say the film will be multi-lingual and scripted by Konkona herself.

However, the National Award-winning actress for Mr and Mrs Iyer will not act in it. According to a source, since this is her directorial debut, she has decided to focus on direction only.

Konkona is known as an accomplished writer and her dream project has been in the pipeline for some years now. Apparently, she had earlier wanted to make a short film before directing a full-length feature, but now that plan seems to have been shelved.

It's still not known if Aparna Sen will be involved in her daughter's maiden directorial venture. But the actress has revealed to her close associates when the need arises, she expects her mother to guide her. “She has always been there for me, professionally or personally. So, she will definitely be there if I need her,“ she was reportedly heard saying.
