Here's why Munna Michael' actress Nidhhi Agerwal signed no-dating clause

Mumbai: Makers of Tiger Shroff's 'Munna Michael' have made the lead actress, debutante Nidhhi Agerwal, sign a no-dating clause in her contract for the film. The clause would not be restricted only to the sets of the film, with her co-stars, and would also extend to her personal life.

"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,” Niddhi told Mid-Day.

Tiger, however, has not been made to sign such a clause.The producer of the film, Viki Rajani, explains why, “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."

About the whole 'sexist' arrangement, Rajani says, "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."

The shooting of the film has already commenced and the story traces the journey of Tiger’s Mumbai-based character as a Michael Jackson fan.
