&quot;I am writing a family drama now. I have not finished the script yet, so it is too premature to talk about it. But all I can say is that it is my kind of family drama,&quot; Zoya told IANS. <img alt="Zoya Akhtar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/apr/Zoya-Akhtar.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 540px; " /> Her first directorial, &#39;Luck By Chance&#39; in 2009, was about a struggler&#39;s rise in Bollywood. The second, &#39;Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara&#39;, was a light-hearted entertainer on love and friendship. Daughter of veteran writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar, Zoya says she wants to continue experimenting with different stories. &quot;I want to try different stories. I want to do something new and try various themes,&quot; said the 40-year-old. As a writer, Zoya has worked on the script of the soon-to-be-released &quot;Talaash&quot;, a suspense thriller, a genre she loves. &quot;This film is a suspense drama. I had met with an incident which I still have not understood. When I spoke to (director) Reema (Kagti), we were thinking how can we adapt that and make a story out of it. I love the genre of suspense drama. We don&#39;t make these kind of films in India anymore, I don&#39;t know why,&quot; she said, &quot;Talaash&quot;, releasing Nov 30, features Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji.
