After establishing his acting prowess in Bollywood, looks like it's now time for Prakash Raj to show his mettle as a director. If sources are to be believed, he will direct the Hindi remake of Akasamantha (Abhiyum Naanum in Tamil), directed by Radhamohan.

And the highlight is that the lead role of a doting father (which was played by Prakash Raj in the Tamil version) will be enacted by Aamir Khan, who is said to be so keen about being part of the project.

"Aamir Khan was thoroughly impressed after watching Akasamantha recently. He is looking forward to kick start the Hindi version, which will be produced by Boney Kapoor," sources say.

Directed by Radha Mohan, the film had Prakash Raj, Trisha, Aishwarya and Ganesh Venkatraman in lead roles. It spoke about the bond shared between a father and his daughter and how father may not accept that his little one is not a kid anymore.
