Keerthana, Parthepan's daughter, who is often called Sundari fondly by him, has now turned assistant director. If the buzz is to be believed the child actor has made her debut behind the scenes with the Ajith-Vishnuvardhan project.

Keerthana, who is pampered by her dad, gave a performance in Mani Ratnam's Kannathil Muthamittal starring Madhavan and Simran. The young actor has studied music in A R Rahman's music school and has now ventured into direction. Parthepan himself is quite creative - he writes scripts, directs, writes poetry and more. And looks like his daughter has got some of his creative genes.

Media reports say that she has joined the unit now which started re-shoot in Mumbai on August 14 and even gave the clap for Ajith's shot. It seems Thala Ajith was very impressed with the young girl and wished her the very best in her new career.

As Keerthana starts out on a directorial career we wonder if at any point she'll end up directing her dad in an interesting film. One can never tell!
