Having delivered hits in comedy and romance genres, director Anand L Rai says he would now like to make an action drama film.
“I would like to make an action-drama film. I would want to try it. I have an idea. But it is going to be a tough one. It will not be like Hollywood style. It (action) will be backed by emotions and drama,” said Rai.
When asked if his idea is on the lines of films like “Dabangg” and “Rowdy Rathore”, he said, “My film will be different. It will have right dose of action coupled with emotions.”
Rai has made a place for himself in the industry with hits like comedy “Tanu Weds Manu” franchise and romantic drama, “Raanjhanaa”.
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old director is excited about his next film as co-producer, “Happy Bhag Jayegi”, which stars Abhay Deol, Diana Penty and Jimmy Shergil in the lead roles.
As a producer, he also has Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar starrer “Manmarziyan” under his banner, while his next directorial is with superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who plays a dwarf in the film.
Recently, Anand L. Rai has rubbished rumours that he has cast actress Parineeti Chopra in his next film starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan. He says he is yet to zero in on a leading lady. Asked if he has even approached Parineeti, he said: “No, I haven’t. Give me two weeks and I will be able to talk about it in a better way.”
