Actress Kangana Ranaut who has garnered immense appreciation for her performing and acting skills is all set to turn director and producer. The upcoming film is titled Teju and is at a very early stage of developments. Earlier Kangana had updated that she would start focusing on Teju after wrapping up Manikarnika which is a very challenging film. The lady’s last release Simran has received mixed reviews. In a recent media statement, the bold actress revealed intricate details about the film.

Talking about wearing the director’s hat for Teju , Kangana Ranaut said, “I believe creativity is like a ripe fruit. If you don’t pluck it then it’s going to rot. Now I’m ready to be a director. I’ve worked with lot of directors in the past 10 years. My priority now is to grow in life. I’m playing a grandmother in Teju. Also, it’s produced by Shailesh Singh. Teju will be my fourth film with him after Tanu Weds Manu (TWM), Tanu Weds Manu Returns (TWMR) and Simran. During TWM, in between, we didn’t have funds. The film stopped. But Shailesh put it all together. He’s basically a creative person. He has assisted Mansoor Khan.”

In the media interaction, Kanagna also confessed that she does films just for money, she added, “(Grins) I do all films for money! The perception that I don’t work for money is untrue. Of what use is name and fame if you’re not financially secure. I’d rather sit at home, cook my favourite meal and spend time with people I like. But when I’m out there in a worker’s capacity, if I dedicate my youth and my time to do a certain job, I want to be part of the earnings, the profits. I’m clear about that.”

When asked if she has started taking profits, Kangana said, “Not yet. As of now, I charge my remuneration. But in my next film Teju, I will be sharing the profits. (Smiles) I’ll be charging as an actor, as a director and will be sharing profits as the producer.”
