Aamir Khan's daughter is all set to venture into direction by helming a theatre play titled Euripides' Medea, which is a Greek tragedy. Earlier when DNA After Hrs asked Ira about this new venture, she stated, "It was never really a choice between directing or acting. I’ve always wanted to make the movie rather than be in it." She also said, "The original was staged in 431 BC. I’m pretty sure my version of the play is slightly different in its presentation."

Now, Ira has got her leading lady and it's none other than Hazel Keech. The star kid took to her Instagram page and shared a photo in which she has gone down on her knee and giving the script to Hazel. Ira wrote, "SHE SAID YES! It's amazing to get to work with you, as a friend but more importantly as an actor, @hazelkeechofficial. I can't wait to see what we make @medeatheplay @photographybyroozbeh #medea #medeatheplay #euripides #hazelplayingmedea #anautankisaproduction #entropy #friends #workingwithfriends #workisplay #whoneedsasociallife #play #shesaidyes #excited

While Hazel wrote, "After being away from theatre for almost a decade I'm back in the Greek Tragedy Medea.... playing Medea!!! This is doubly excited because A. I'm back to the theatre, my first love and B. My sweet little @khan.ira is directing it!!!! I'm impressed more and more each passing day with her clarity and conviction of what she wants and is trying to achieve and by her confidence and self-esteem, she has at such a young age. I'm so proud to be working with you on this Tich, love you"
