Bollywood star Govinda's daughter Narmada is ready to face the camera and the anxious father has decided to produce her debut film himself. "Narmada will launch her film career anytime in 2009. I feel today she is emotionally ready to face the camera," Govinda told us.
"After weighing all the pros and cons, I decided I'm the best person to produce my daughter's debut film. I don't want anyone else, no matter how well-meaning, to take the credit for launching my daughter," he said.
The director will be finalised in the next couple of weeks. Those on Govinda's wish-list are Nikhil Advani and Shaad Ali.
"Ideally, I'd have liked Narmada to be launched by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He is among our best. But since that is not possible, we're looking at some other names. My daughter has to be directed by someone who has a vision and an aesthetic sense and also respects the work that I do," said the actor.
