Iranian actress Mandana Karimi has been the talk of the town thanks to her micro-mini bikini antics, both inside and outside the Bigg Boss house. But now, Mirror has learnt, that her complete absence of time management skills have rubbed the makers of her upcoming film, Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3, the wrong way.

"Mandana is one of the film's leading ladies, opposite Aftab Shivdasani and Tusshar Kapoor, and her contract has a clause that requires her to allot at least 10 days for the film's promotions. Before going on the reality show, she paid producer Ekta Kapoor a visit and was clearly informed that the film would release anytime between January and February. But she has made no effort to come out of the house and honour her agreement," informed a disgruntled source from the production house.

Mandana, who was seen in blink-and-miss appearances in Roy, Bhaag Johnny and Main Aur Charles, has a three-film contract with the production house. "We are happy that the TV show has made her popular but Mandana has contractually committed to us and will have to adhere by it. She had signed with us much before entering the house," informed CEO of Balaji Motion Pictures, Aman Gill.

MEANWHILE...

Another producer comes to the actress's rescue

Filmmaker Anand Kumar, who rolls with a film based on social media, Viral, next month however is super impressed with the leggy Mandana and is all set to cast her as the lead. "She is bold, beautiful, text-savvy and will connect with today's youngsters who are using Skype, Tinder, Whatsapp. Today, communication is all about sharing pictures and sending the same selfie to 10 people around you. But the young boy in my film is a novice to social communication and the story is about how all this affects him," informs the writer-producer who plans to shoot in Delhi, Mumbai and Goa, beginning next month. "I'm waiting for Mandana to finish her stint in the Bigg Boss house before finalising the modalities and locking her dates."

ABCD actor Raghav Juyal, known for his slow-motion, break dance moves, is opposite her. Raghav's character compiles all his experiences with social media into a book, Viral, which explains the title," adds Anand.
