Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi says she wants to follow in Hollywood star Angelina Jolie's footsteps and direct a film when she grows older.
After delivering hits like "Gia", "Girl, Interrupted" and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider", Jolie, 39, made her directorial debut with "In the Land of Blood and Honey" in 2011 and Qureshi, "Ek Thi Daayan" actress is inspired by her.
"Right now I can't direct. Maybe at 55, I would like to direct. I will go the Angelina Jolie way," the 28-year-old told IANS in a group interaction.
Asked if she would like to co-direct with actor and brother Saqib Saleem, she said: "Co-directing is not possible with my brother. We have very different opinions. Maybe, we will act in a film together. That will be exciting because both of us are very competitive actors so it would nice."
She is currently working on a film called "Badlapur", set to release in February next year.
