Manoj Kumar is all set to return to direction with a film called DNA Report. This will be the veteran&rsquo;s first directorial venture since the badly-received Clerk in 1989. The director says, &ldquo;I haven&rsquo;t been able to make films because of my back issues. But now, my script is ready. DNA Report is about a man who is proven to be a child&rsquo;s father after a DNA test despite having no emotional or physical relationship with the mother.&rdquo; <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jun/manoj-kumar_1.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 388px; " /> Kumar laments not having actors who can perform difficult roles. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have the comfort of working with actors who can tell truths in the most understated manner. So I&rsquo;ve to select from the stars today. I have zeroed in on an actor but cannot divulge more until everything is finalised.&rdquo; Rumours are that Kumar has chosen Akshay Kumar. Akshay is a self-confessed Manoj Kumar fan. Kumar says, &ldquo;Akshay respects me. In his film Namaste London he said, &lsquo;If you want to know what India is all about, watch Purab Aur Pashchim.&rdquo; Kumar may go for a new leading lady. Says the actor, &ldquo;I have an eye for talent.&rdquo; Commenting on his long absence from direction says, &ldquo;I am not greedy. While my contemporaries Dharmendra and Shashi Kapoor acted in nearly 300 films each, I&rsquo;ve done hardly 35 films in my entire career.&rdquo;u00a0
