/>"This is the kind of year that I look forward to," says Sushmita about her big plans for 2007.

Sushmita is all set to turn a producer in a big way. "It isn't a random decision. Nor have I come to this decision only to accommodate myself as an actor. But yes, there's a definite economic and creative method to my plans to go into film production."

One of her foremost plans as a producer is make one of her dreams come true. "I've always wanted to play Jhansi Ki Rani. And I don't see my vision being translated to screen by any other producer. For my interpretation of the ultimate warrior queen I need to create a situation conducive to a free-flowing creativity."

At the moment Sushmita is in serious closed-door discussions with her script writers. She hopes to zero-in on a director (one of the top names in show business) in the next couple of months.

"Every actor has a dream role. Mine is Jhansi. I've always created a situation where I can make my dreams come true. This is my chance to play the one historical character that I most closely empathize with."

She said wants to make the movie herself because she had a definite vision of how to portray Lakshmibai.

Sushmita added that she would appoint a director in a couple of months, and is likely to begin shooting later this year.

"I've always wanted to play Jhansi Ki Rani. And I don't see my vision being translated to screen by any other producer," she added.
