December 28, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Actress Hema Malini will reportedly wield the mike again for an upcoming film that hits theaters early next year. According to reports from Bollywood, the actress will return to direction after a span of eighteen years with her husband Dharmendra and daughter Esha Deol as stars of the upcoming Bollywood film. In a statement to the media, Hema Malini says that she had a very nice time shouting directions at her hubby and daughter. Considering that Dharmendra is known for his angry image, did he work according to Hema Malinis directions? The actress turned director says that Dharmendra did object to her methods of direction initially, but since Hema Malini was strict about what she wanted from her actors, he too was bound to listen to her!

Hema Malini makes it clear that she has returned to direction only for her daughter Esha Deol, who unfortunately cannot boast of a real career in Bollywood! But mommy dearest is hopeful that her second directorial venture Tell Me Oh Khuda with Esha Deol will be liked by the masses. Hema Malini says that she shared a wonderful relationship with her daughter on the films sets and she loved the fact that Esha Deol always made it a point to take her advice before and after each shot.

Tell Me Oh Khuda will hit theaters in March next year. Hema Malinis first film as a director was the Shah Rukh Khan and Divya Bharati starrer Dil Aashna Hai, which was one of the first hits of superhit actor Shah Rukh Khan.
