Aishwarya Dhanush turns director!

The wait is over! Dhanush has finally made an announcement that his wife and superstar Rajinikanth's elder daughter Aishwarya will soon make her directorial debut.

In her maiden film, Dhanush will be the hero. "Yes I am doing a project with Aishwarya. But the lead opposite me has not been finalized. I'll confirm soon," Dhanush said. It is believed that Shruti Haasan has been approached to play the female lead in this untitled romantic film.

Being a great movie buff, Aishwarya usually accompanies Dhanush for all his shootings and has also assisted a few directors, including Dhanush's brother Selvaraghavan and Sri Raghava in his Karthi starrer Yuganiki Okkadu. For the past few months, she has been busy preparing the script. The project will be announced after Rajnikanth's complete recovery, it is heard.
