Karan Johar ties up his directors to a three film contract
Karan Johar has decided to keep his directors tied to a three film contract, before they work for any other production company.
In the past, Karan’s protégés have made one film for his Dharma Productions, scuppering to another house soon after. Says Karan about this, “Barring Rensil D’Silva, who comes from an established ad world and we have decided to keep him bound for only one project, all the other directors are bound by a three-film contract.”
“I’ve my own little Whistling Woods (Subhash Ghai’s film school) in my production house. My endeavour is to establish an academy of directors who won’t just make one movie for us and move on. I hope they’ll stay with us and make more movies. I want to encourage new-age cinema. I’m really happy to cultivate all this talent. I’ve had first time directors starting with Nikhil Advani in ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ and Soham Shah in ‘Kaal’ to Tarun Mansukhani in ‘Dostana’, Ayaan Mukherjee in ‘Wake Up, Sid’ and we’ve just signed Siddharth Malhotra,” added Karan.
“One must be professional about work. Yes, they’re contractually bound to make three films with us. But there’s an inherent loyalty to the banner in them. And I’ve complete faith that these new directors won’t move on from our banner,” further adds Karan.
