Well-known TV actor Varun Badola is acquainted with the technical expertise of making serials and said that his ultimate wish is to direct for the small screen.

Varun, who worked as an assistant director to acclaimed filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia for 5 years, said, "I will get into direction anyhow, but there's always a right time for everything."

Badola, who is in the television for over a decade, was in the capital to promote his newly launched TV show "Maan Rahe Tera... Pitaah".

Varun debuted with Zee TV's 1994 popular series "Banegi Apni Baat", but came into the public interest as an actor with Ekta Kapoor's "Koshish... Ek Aashaa" in the year 2001.

Ever since, he has come a long way with performances in shows like "Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand", "Astitva... Ek Prem Kahani" and "Aek Chabhi Hai Padoss Mein", and is named among the best actors on Indian TV.

Now Rajeshwari's loving hubby believes that direction is a natural progression for him, but said that it is tricky to direct for television without channel officials and producers interfering.

Varun is open to making a regular soap, but doesn't want to wield the megaphone for a comedy.

"I won't ever make a comedy show. My style of comedy is unfortunately very black. And I don't think Indians are very comfortable with that still. I have worked with Tigmanshu Dhulia, who is a master at dark comedies and we made a lot of STAR bestsellers together. Even then we had restricted audiences. People don't even understand it, so I am sure the project would be a complete failure if I were to attempt it," the actor said.

In the meantime, the 36-year-old has ruled out any possibility of turning into a producer. He says that his concern for nuances would require him to quit his acting career to open a production company.

"I do want to produce shows. The economics of television have changed completely over the years. I know one thing for sure, if I get into production, I will not be able to act. "Not because there is so much money involved. But if I come up with a project, I would want to take care of the script, the quality of the show and everything. That's a very difficult thing to do. I will have to give up my acting career," he said.

At present, the 36-year-old is content playing his first negative role in Sony TV's "Maan Rahe Tera... Pitaah". (With Inputs from Agencies)
