Legendary actor Robert De Niro is planning to pen a book with his 'Raging Bull' director Martin Scorsese.

'The Godfather' star although is not keen on an autobiography, instead he is cultivating idea to pen a memoir with the Academy Award winning director, reported Contactmusic.

"It takes time to (write an autobiography) and I just haven't (got the time). Once, Scorsese and I were thinking of doing a book together and we still might," De Niro said.

The duo, who have worked together in blockbuster like 'Goodfellas' and 'Raging Bull' are coming together for another gangster flick.

"We have another gangster film we're going to (make) and it's a very interesting one. I'm looking forward to it," said De Niro, who won Academy award for Scorsese's 'Raging Bull'.
 

Having starred in many gangster movies, De Niro feels that movie-goers have affinity towards this particular genre.

"I guess people are fascinated by them because they're against the establishment in some ways, and in some ways they're not, and they break the law and the rules," he said.
