Chennai, Dec 22 (IANS): Last seen donning the director''s hat with 2010 Tamil thriller "Easan", actor-filmmaker Sasikumar says he will return to helming when the time is right and won''t succumb to the pressure of the industry and his peers.

"Every time I meet the press, I''m asked when I plan to return to direction. A lot of my well-wishers in the industry too ask the same question. I don''t buck to the pressure of all these people because I know I''ll direct when the time is right," Sasikumar told IANS.

He says he can''t let the pressure of his peers influence him.

"I can''t make a film because someone wants me to. I will decide when I want to direct, and I''m waiting for the right time. It might be next year or the one after that. I have two scripts ready but I''m not quite sure which one to choose first to direct," he said.

Sasikumar''s Tamil comedy-drama "Balle Vellaiya Theva", in which he has played the lead, is slated for release on Friday.
