There are a number of Indian directors who have donned their acting hats and nailed it.
Everyone has their favourite actor. And most of us watch a movie for the actors who are starring in them. While the actors play an important part in the movies, are not the only aspect that makes or breaks a movie. It takes a talented director to line up and layout the entire movie. It is their vision and creativity that makes the movie worth watching. Considering how well they do their job and get things done from their actors, it is natural that many of these directors can ace a role in front of the camera. There have been times when a director ditched his seat and let his fellow director's do his job.
