Keerthy Suresh, who recently saw the release of Revolver Rita, opened up about her desire to direct a film. In an interview with Gobinath ahead of the film's release, she expressed her interest in filmmaking pursuits but revealed that it would take time to materialise.

"Although I do have the interest to direct, I don't have the time for it. I have been writing down ideas for five years. Since I travel a lot, I use that time to think and write stories. I develop them while sitting and talking with my friends - some of them who are also assistant directors now. I also hear scripts from them," she said.

Elsewhere in the same interview, Keerthy also spoke on the many difficult decisions she had to take to cement her rise in the industry, including saying no to many projects. Keerthy said, "It was due to my gut feeling, consciousness and vision that I was able to make the choices that was best for my career. My family members, with the experience they have, would instead urge me to say yes. Despite that, I have said no many times. Sometimes, my gut feeling would really be true. Those decisions have only taken me to the next level in cinema."

Apart from Keerthy Suresh, Revolver Rita, which hit theatres last week, also stars Radikaa Sarathkumar, Redin Kingsley, Mime Gopi, Sendrayan, and veteran stunt choreographer Super Subbarayan. The film received mixed reviews upon release.

The film is directed by K Chandru, who has made a comeback after Naveena Saraswathi Sabatham (2013). The film marked Keerthy's first Tamil release this year, barring a lone Telugu release, Uppu Kappurambu, directed by Ani IV Sasi. Post its theatrical run, Revolver Rita will hit the OTT platform Netflix.
