She recently opened up about her future career plans, revealing if they involved directing and producing.

In a recent interview with Forbes India, Ananya Panday was asked about her ambitions beyond acting. The actress shared that she didn’t believe yet that she could direct. However, she stated that she has discussed producing with her father, Chunky Panday, to a great extent.

Ananya expressed how one could feel that something or someone is not right in a script and wish that somebody else was in it. She said a lot of "permutations and combinations" are applied when selecting something, and she believed that being a producer allowed one to put a lot of things together. Ananya also talked about how she would want certain kinds of projects to be made, but she didn’t see herself acting in them. The actress revealed that a producer has the ‘power’ to make that happen.

Then, Ananya Panday mentioned actresses like Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone, who have production houses. She thought that their production work had given them a ‘new life as an actor.’ Ananya said, “They're doing something completely different while still sticking to things they're known for best.” She added that it was what she looked towards and hoped to do in the future.
