The Dostana director also pointed out how SRK is hands-on the set and takes care of things beyond acting.“I’ve seen him picking up chairs and helping wrap up shoots quickly when rain was approaching. He’d become like an assistant director just to get things done efficiently. He is so much a part of the crew that you will never feel that he is Shah Rukh Khan. He is always cracking jokes, and most importantly, he constantly teaches you," Tarun said.SRK's advice left an impression on TarunTalking about one of the most pertinent pieces of advice he received from Shah Rukh, Tarun said, "I remember just before starting Dostana he told me, 'What you think is direction, like, putting the camera here, or setting the shot is just 1% of filmmaking, 99% of your job is managing people.'" Tarun said he has taken this powerful advice as a thumb rule, and it has helped him produce his best work. About Housefull 5Tarun is directing the fifth instalment of the famous Housefull franchise, which boasts a large ensemble cast. The film stars Akshay Kumar,  Riteish Deshmukh,  Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer and Johnny Lever.
