Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is scared to direct the remake of his father's 1991 hit "Agneepath", famous for portraying megastar Amitabh Bachchan as the "angry young man".

The 38-year-old says action isn't quite his thing.

"I am happy directing films on love, romance and drama. That's what I do best. I don't think I will be good at an action film. So I am not taking the reins of the film in my hand, " Karan told.

He has roped in director Karan Malhotra to helm the movie. Currently, the team is working towards giving final touches to the script, after which they will approach the cast before finally launching the project.
