Ranbir Kapoor's starrer much-awaited film Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar has finally been released today. The director of the film Luv Ranjan revealed that he wanted to do an action film with the  Barfi  actor   ahead of the rom-com.

In his interview with PinkVilla, the filmmaker said, "I wanted to do an action film with Ranbir because I thought it would be a great idea to see him do it. He had never done it. It wasn't just an action film. It was an action drama."

He further said: "I think it would be wonderful to see him do that; to make him play that hero. The idea was to do a Salim-Javed kind of dialogue oriented film. The wish was to make that film but it didn't work out because of dates."

He continued: "Around that time, we randomly discussed about this (Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar) idea. We had discussed many ideas. Not just a couple but 8 to 10 different ideas. "

"When we figured out that this film (action-drama with Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor) could not happen because of dates, I just happened to ask him (Ranbir Kapoor) if we could do that (Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar) and he said, 'Ya’," he added.
