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," Rai told PTI.

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, 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.
