Tarun Mansukhani who had made his directorial debut with "Dostana" under Dharma Productions has revealed that he has no plans to shift to any other production house despite being flooded by offers. He says his loyalty to Dharma Productions is "too strong" to be bought.
 
"I received several calls from several producers (post 'Dostana')... But everyone in the industry knows my loyalty to Karan is too strong. No amount of money or fame can buy that," Mansukhani told.
 
"Karan gave me freedom to make the film I wanted... with no pressures of budgets and market expectations and for that I'm eternally grateful," he added.
 
"It's been 12 years in films now... and all those years have been spent in one institution, in one family - the Johars. And they have always taught me to dream big. And I have.
 
"But what surprises me every now and then is Karan. He seems to have bigger dreams for me than I have for myself. So I hope both our dreams come true... and we can continue to make films together till our sanity remains," said Mansukhani.
 
His career as an assistant director to Karan started with "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" (1998). In "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" (2001) and "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" (2006) Mashukhani worked as first assistant director.
"The only reason that 'Dostana' happened, got the buzz, the opening, the reaction was because it was a film presented by Karan Johar. That name stands for quality wholesome entertainment. And that name backs me. There’s nothing more thunderous than that," he said.
 
"Karan is amazingly clear about his films. He is aware of its strengths, its weaknesses and its requirements. He lives, eats and breathes his film... and whilst doing that he manages to be stylish, entertaining and business-minded.
 
"He knows his job and more often than not, he knows other people's jobs as well... but just like his father (Yash), he never blames, yells or puts anyone down. No matter how many mistakes one makes, he always corrects them and pushes one further..."
 
"I know I'm making him sound too good to be true... but the truth is he is. And yes... I'm in awe of him," he explained.
