I'm more director than actor: Rajini's daughter Soundarya

Mumbai: There would have been no dearth of roles for Tamil actor Rajinikant's daughter had she chosen to follow in his footsteps.

Instead Soundarya Rajinikant became a filmmaker and is now making Sultan - The Warrior, a 3-D animation project that features her superstar father in the role of an armour-clad warrior.

"I have always been (a) behind-the-camera person. I'm more the director than an actor," said the 23-year-old.

"So, do I see myself in front of the camera? No. But never say never, let's see what happens later,” she added.

Directing a full-fledged Bollywood film remains one of her dreams and Soundarya said her favourite genre is fantasy – with supernatural settings, exotic lands and make-believe creatures.

"I really, really want to direct a film on fantasy. It fascinates me,” she said.
