Mandana
Karimi
has
alleged
that
she
was
mentally
harassed
by
the
producer
of
her
upcoming
film
Koka
Kola.
The
actress
told
BT
that
she
was
called
names
and
screamed
at
in
front
of
the
crew.
The
incident
allegedly
took
place
on
the
sets,
on
her
last
day
of
shoot
in
Mumbai
on
November
13.
Mandana
said,
“I
am
still
in
shock
about
what
happened
and
how
it
happened.
Koka
Kola
is
a
film
that
we
have
been
working
on
for
over
a
year
now,
and
it’s
been
one
of
those
jobs
that
you
do
despite
knowing
that
the
team
is
not
being
very
professional.
We
all
end
up
doing
a
few
such
jobs
to
just
keep
ourselves
afloat.
From
the
beginning,
I
had
problems
with
this
crew.
The
producer
(Mahendra
Dhariwal)
is
an
old-school
man
who
turns
the
set
into
a
man-dominated,
egoistic
place.”
She
added,
“What
happened
on
November
13
has
shaken
me
up.
It
was
the
last
day
of
my
shoot
and
I
wanted
to
wrap
up
and
get
going.
I
had
another
meeting
lined
up.
On
the
last
two
days
of
the
shoot,
I
had
come
in
early
and
clocked
in
the
hours,
though
the
shoot
wasn’t
all
about
me.
A
little
before
wrap-up,
the
producer
asked
me
for
an
hour
more
on
the
set,
which
I
told
him
I
can’t
do
as
I
have
a
meeting
lined
up.
He
said
okay,
and
I
went
back
on
set
to
finish
my
last
few
takes.
We
were
shooting
for
a
song.
But
the
moment
I
left
the
set
and
went
to
my
vanity
van
to
change,
he
forcefully
came
inside
and
started
shouting,
'You
can’t
leave.
I
asked
you
to
do
an
extra
hour
and
you
have
to
listen
because
I
am
the
producer
and
I
have
paid
you.'”
Meanwhile,
the
film
producer
Mahendra
Dhariwal
has
also
come
out
and
shared
his
side
of
the
story.
He
told
Bombay
Times
that
Mandana
is
the
one
who
was
unprofessional
and
he
had
no
choice
but
to
give
the
actor
an
'earful’
after
she
'started
acting
up'.
The
producer
said,
“In
one-and-a-half
years,
for
a
contract
of
Rs
7
lakh,
she
has
taken
Rs
17
lakh,
cash
transactions
included.
I
am
okay
with
spending
the
money,
but
she
has
behaved
unprofessionally
with
us.”
