Versatile actor Nana Patekar says he will direct his second Hindi film soon and that he has finalised Deepika Padukone for the lead role.
"Yes, I am directing a film," Nana told reporters at a press meet of his first Kannada film "Yaksha" here Wednesday.
"I have already written the script of the film and have selected Deepika Padukone to play the lead role. I haven't yet finalised other artists and technicians for the film."
"I am going to my native village in Maharashtra in a few days to make preparations for the film. I have not finalised the launch date of the film. But it will be worked out very soon," he added.
Nana wielded megaphone for the first time for "Prahaar" that had Madhuri Dixit in the lead role.
The actor, who will be seen in Prakash Jha's political thriller "Rajneeti", also said: "I have not signed any new film after 'Rajneeti'."
Nana has completed 13 days' shooting schedule of "Yaksha", which is his second south Indian film after "Bommalattam". He played a possessive film director in the thriller that didn't score well at the box office.

I´d like to see a love story between Nana and Deepika because they´re on opposite ends in terms of looks. Would make an interesting film imo.
