Mandana Karimi froze on first day shoot of Bhaag Johnny
For any newcomer, facing the camera for the first time is not easy. Ask the Iranian model-turned-actor Mandana Karimi and she will certainly vouch for that! Prior to joining films, Mandana has modeled for various renowned fashion designers and has appeared in several television ads.
The gorgeous young actor will be seen in Shivam Nair’s action thriller, Bhaag Johnny alongside Kunal Khemu releasing this year. Like a newcomer, Mandana too was little nervous facing the camera for the first time. It so happened that the first scene she had to shoot for the movie was an emotional one with a long list of intense dialogues. While enacting the scene, Mandana forgot her lines and froze.
A source says, “Mandana was nervous since it was her first shot she forgot her lines. Fortunately, director Shivam Nair came to her rescue and convinced her that she can do it. Apparently, the director asked the crew members to evacuate the set to make her comfortable and gave her the pep talk. After a few rehearsals, she regained her confidence and gave one of the most impactful shots from the movie.”
Mandana’s Quote: It was just a bad day. I was very nervous. And although everybody was very encouraging, I don’t know I just froze completely. And next thing I know is that tears are rolling out of my eyes. Thank god for Shivam sir who calmed me down and showed his faith in me.
