‘Munna Michael’: No-dating clause for Niddhi Agerwal, but not for Tiger Shroff

Model Niddhi Agerwal is all set to make her Bollywood debut opposite Tiger Shroff in ‘Munna Michael’. However, something shocking has happened with her even before she starts shooting for her first film. Well, the makers of the film have added a no-dating clause in the actress’ contract, but there’s nothing like this in Tiger’s contract.

Nidhi told a tabloid, “I had to read it [the contract] twice over to believe it, but I don’t really have a problem. I understand that the intention is that they want 100 per cent dedication from me. Not like I have a life beyond work in any case. My understanding of it is that the makers have included the clause because dating a co-star has become an easy publicity exercise for production houses. It takes the focus away from the film. Now, I can put my phone away and practice for four hours without worrying about who’s calling me. It is a matter of five-six months and I am okay with it.”

Talking about Tiger being spared from the clause, producer Viki Rajani, said, “Tiger is already a star while this is Niddhi’s launch film. She is a bright girl and we don’t want her to get distracted. Sabbir (Khan, director) and I have seen real potential in her and this will do her good.”

When Rajani was questioned that the no-dating clause is unfair to Niddhi and rather sexist, he said, “It’s not like we made her sign [the contract] at gunpoint. She agreed to it. It’s a big launch. She starts shooting on October 8 and will be done by February.”

While there are talks about equality in Bollywood, we wonder what the makers ‘Munna Michael’ thought while getting in such a clause only for the lead actress of their film.
