Aamir Khan, meet Madonna.
Yet another actor turning director, Madonna -- who vacationed in India recently -- is going to follow in husband Guy Ritchie's ways with a 30-minute short film called Filth And Wisdom.
Ritchie, who broke through with snappy gangster movies Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, lost his way when he made the ill-fated Swept Away, starring Madge in the lead.
Then followed another disaster, called Revolver. Ritchie is now directing another gangland film, called RockNRolla, a film he hopes will be better than his last two turkeys.
Can his wife do better? Well, lets just say its a good thing she's starting with a short.
