"I'm getting offers to direct Harry Potter: The Order Of The Phoenix. I read it over the weekend. I'm still deciding... I'm not letting all this go to my head. I'm grounded. I practise detachment, it helps me keep my balance." I'm a Dilliwalli, only an asana gets me on my head! My son Zoharan's excited. I've seen all the Harry Potter movies with him."

What do you guys think about this? I was so surprised when I read this...but I'm interested in finding out if she'll accept the offer.

Mira Nair directed Vanity Fair and Monsoon Wedding

Bend it like Beckham was directed by Gurinder Chadda. She has also directed Bride and Prejudice recently.

That is surprising piece of news, Mystica.
