Basking in the success of his directorial debut Power Paandi aka Pa Paandi, Dhanush said he has plans for a sequel but isn’t sure when it will happen. Talking to Times of India, he said, “I would be lying if I said no. I have an idea for Pa. Pandi 2, but I don't know when it will happen, or if it will happen at all. Right now, I am just enjoying this phase.”
He also added that he has already received offers to direct a Hindi film as well as two Tamil projects.
Talking about his directorial dream, he said, “I have wanted to direct for quite some time, but I wanted to be ready and know what I am doing. I wanted to know the basics. I made 17 short films to try and understand the craft by making mistakes. But this doesn't mean that I am ready now... I still feel I am not ready yet, but sometimes, you just need to have blind faith and take the plunge. I think I just did that.”
He also quashed rumours that his maiden Hollywood project has been shelved. “We will begin shooting for the film from May 14 in Mumbai. We will also be heading to Brussels, Rome, Paris and other parts of Europe for the shoot. I am not allowed to speak anything about it. But since everyone knows that it is based on the best-selling novel, people must have an idea of what the film will be all about. The reason I am doing this film is that I want to understand more about cinema, filmmaking and how things work there. The process has already begun and I am very excited about it.”
