Kannathil Muttamittal girl Keerthana is all set to learn the nuances of direction from the master himself. The star kid will be assisting ace director Mani Ratnam for his forthcoming revenge drama starring Dulquar Salman and Karthi in lead roles. Though Keerthana has been receiving many acting offers, direction seems to be her forte. "In fact, when Mani sir asked her why she doesn’t want to act, she said, ‘I don’t like to be directed; I want to be the boss.’ I am facing a lot of problems in the family and she handles everything with lots of maturity," as said by Parthiepan to a leading daily. Keerthana is likely to direct a movie early next year.
