Known for helming issue-based movies, filmmaker-actress Revathi says she'd love to direct a project on the lines of Zoya Akhtar's brand of cinema - like a Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

Revathi told IANS, "I would love to make the kind of films Zoya makes. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was an exceptional film. It also did well at the box office."

"I think it's a talent to write such a film. I don't know if I have the talent to write something like that, but let's see. I think it will take some time for me."

Revathi has directed films like Phir Milenge and Mumbai Cutting.

She says she hopes to helm her new Malayalam film next year.

"The story that I have written fits the Malayalam scenario. I am among the lucky ones who can make a Hindi, Tamil or Malayalam film as I connect with all the three languages," said Revathi, who is being lauded for her role in Margarita, With A Straw.
