Tisca Chopra turns director

Actress Tisca Chopra, who is making her directorial debut with a yet untitled thriller film, says direction was the next logical step forward for her after acting in films over 26 years.

Tisca was interacting with the media at a special screening of Oscar-winning film 'Free Solo' on Tuesday.

The actress, who had earlier acted in and co-written the acclaimed short film 'Chutney', will now be helming a "twisted, dark and bitingly funny" movie.

Revealing the genre of the film, Tisca said: "It's a thriller film." Asked if she feels under pressure as it is her first film as a director, she said: "I don't know.

I am just doing my work and I am not thinking about the pressure right now. I guess it is the next logical step forward for me after acting. So I am feeling really happy and excited about it." "Free Solo" won the Best Documentary at both the Oscars and the BAFTAs.
