New Delhi, Jul 2: She did a minute role in 2001 release 'Dil Chahta Hai' before going on to become a
producer-director but Kiran Rao does not rule out the possibility of acting again. never thought of acting as a career option but would not mind doing it for fun."I don't know If I can act in a film. I used to enjoy acting on-stage in college, it's a great experience, good fun. I would love to do it for the fun of it if there is an opportunity at some point but it is certainly not a career option," Kiran told PTI.
The director is currently busy promoting Anand Gandhi's 'Ship Of Theseus', which she is distributing in India. Kiran says she is not putting her support behind the movie for any financial gains but for the love of art house films.
"I am not taking any financial stake in the film. Initially, I didn't think I could do anything for it (movie) or they needed me. But when Anand made it known that my association would be helpful, I thought that would be great because as an audience there is a certain kind of cinema that appeals to me and I would like to see more of that. We can't be passive recipients of anything which comes out in the theater," she said.
'Ship Of Theseus' will release on July 19 and Kiran is trying alternative methods of promoting the film. "We are not doing same sort of promotion like any other film would do, which is constant trailers on TV, big hoardings, newspaper ads. We are relying more on Twitter, Facebook and online methods so that the target audience will engage with the film long before it releases," Kiran said.
