There was no term called pan India yet, but Kalyan garu was offered almost as much remuneration as Shah Rukh Khan gets.&rdquo;

He continued &ldquo;But, he&rsquo;s of the opinion some of these products he was asked to endorse aren&rsquo;t healthy or good for kids. I was supposed to direct these ads, but I saw him reject ads worth crores. I am not saying anybody&rsquo;s wrong for doing it, I&rsquo;m just giving an example of how he is as a person.&rdquo;
