Director No. 4 for Ra.One!

Karan Johar and Yash Chopra directed songs for Shah Rukh Khan's Ra.One last year. And now, Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani is in Hyderabad 'helping' director Anubhav Sinha helm the film.

Says a source, "SRK and Kareena Kapoor were shooting there with Anubhav directing. Everything seemed fine till Tarun got an SOS call from SRK asking him to fly out to help them. People are already wondering which director's name will go in the credits."

Sinha reacts, "It's insulting to Shah Rukh, Karan, Tarun and me to answer such questions. This is an important sequence. I don't think Tarun would do this for any lesser friends than Karan and SRK. It's a big sequence and everyone is pitching in to see how they can help. What more can you expect from a friend? The day I'm not the director, it will be Shah Rukh Khan who will say this to everybody else."

Anubhav explains further, "Shah Rukh is missing his right hands on the film. While Bobby Chawla is in hospital, his other deputy, Karim Morani, is in judicial custody. Also my first assistant director, Vaibhav Mishra is getting married on June 24 and leaving the set tomorrow. So what do we do? We need help and so we ask for it from our friends. One phone call from Shah Rukh and Tarun flew down to help us. He's been gracious enough and is helping us, in every way he can. Yesterday I gave him a big hug after we wrapped the last shot."

"I haven't directed a film in the last five years, and am living, breathing and working on my biggest film. This film is a huge investment, and my biggest challenge till date. We need friends and well wishers for a film like this! I love Tarun for doing this."
