After Rock On, the director-turned-actor Farhan Akhtar continues his acting run, as he is set to act in a psychological thriller by debutant director Vijay Lalvani. Before, Farhan was planning to direct a film My Voice From The Sky, but he postponed it due to economical problems.

My Voice From The Sky is currently being pushed forward a bit. My partner Ritesh Sidhwani and I are producing a film that will star me in it. We start in March. Honestly, I’d have liked nothing better right now than to direct Voice From The Sky. But it’s a period film and requires a huge budget and this doesn’t seem to be the right time for it,” said Farhan.

But, he is happy now for the role he got to play in Lalvani’s film. “It was a really good script. At the same time the economic logistics of Voice From The Sky were not working out. I’ve a great role in the film. And that’s what finally titled the scale towards taking up an acting assignment again after Rock On instead of directing another film,” added Farhan.

Meanwhile, Farhan’s sister Zoya’s directorial debut is also ready to release and Farhan is nervous about it.

Luck by Chance is ready for release. We’re putting it into theatres either on Jan 23 or Jan 30 next year. Am I nervous, More than I was when my own directorial debut Dil Chahta Hai was about to release,” said Farhan.
