The director bug has bitten Kamal Haasan's little one, Akshara Haasan, who has now joined Kamal's 'Viswaroopam' team as an assistant director.

Although Kollywood grapevine was abuzz that Akshara Haasan will foray into acting under Mani Ratnam's direction, nothing was official but now Akshara has joined Kamal's team, it may be recalled that she had earlier worked as an assistant director for a Bollywood director.

Kamal is directing and playing protagonist in 'Viswaroopam' that has Rahul Bose as the actor's villain. While it is said Isha Sharvani plays Kamal's sister in the film nothing has been official yet about the heroine. The film throws light on terrorism and Rahul Bose heads a terrorist group in the film.

While Akshara hopes she can direct her father someday, whether she will soon don the actor's cap like her sister Shruti and her parents, we'll have to wait to know...
