New Delhi: It would be an understatement to say that Daniel Radcliffe's Hollywood career has been unique. While portraying one of the most beloved characters in literature and film history, the actor grew up before our eyes on the big screen. 

Daniel Radcliffe will always remain Harry Potter in some people's minds, and there isn't much that can be done about it. But at this point in time, it seems that he has some plans in place for his own feature-length picture.

In a recent interaction with Empire magazine, Daniel said, “I’ve got an idea for something that I have written. I’m hopefully going to direct. It will be in a couple of years’ time, because the next 18 months at least are pretty much accounted for already.”

The actor, best known for his roles in Equus and Privacy and the TV series Miracle Workers, has said that the narrative of his next film would revolve on the film business.

He said, “People always say, ‘Write what you know’. I’ve had a very unrelatable life, so I don’t want to write that. But I have found a way of writing something that is kind of connected to the film industry, about that,” he added. Radcliffe also said he would stay behind the camera for this particular project. I would like to just direct, for two reasons — partly because I’ve never done it before, and I wouldn’t want to be thinking about both those things at the same time.

“But more practically, because when you direct a film you have to watch that film a thousand times afterwards in the edit, and no part of me wants to watch my face that much. I’ll skip that,” he added.
