I tried BFS where in each state I store min steps,direction (up,down,left or right). I am getting TLE for large inputs.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks.

Why do you need to store the direction? BFS will never revisit the same cell due to the shortest number of steps property. And I also don't understand how you can get TLE because the input is small. Try posting your code here.
I thought that direction is required.
Consider the eg:-
000111
000000
where '1' denotes obstacles.
We can visit (1,2) in 2 steps in 2 ways from (0,0):-
1) (0,2) and (1,2)
2) (1,0) and (1,2).
Now if destination is (1,3), we would prefer 2nd) option over first as using first option would give 3 steps as answer but optimal answer to reach (1,3) should be 2.
Anyway, your method works as well. Just that I don't understand how you got TLE. Posting some code would certainly help people to determine the cause of the problem.
Added my code.
