“The experience of directing Rita is something I can’t describe in words. It was my first film and everything about it was special. I also played a role in the film,” says Renuka.

The actor adds that she’s at a stage where she wants to direct and write a lot. “That does not mean acting takes a back seat but, yes, I enjoy direction. I want to make a Hindi film now. There are a few ideas in mind; let’s see if I can take [any] thing ahead. Right now, I’m actually busy with my children. The elder one (Shouryaman) is in class 11 and the younger one (Satyendra) is in class 9. So, I have to balance everything and I’m ready to do that,” says Renuka.
