Mallika, who has been tagged a sex symbol after films like Khwahish and Murder and has dabbled in some Hollywood films, admits she can’t change the mage but would like to show audiences the serious actor as well.She is pinning her hopes on her role as the no-nonsense girl in Kismat Love Paisa Dilli (KLPD) to achieve that.

“It’s not in my hands to change (people’s perception). It’s really not. But I would definitely like to add a few more things to the perception (of the people),” Mallika told IANS in an interview.In director Sanjay Khanduri’s Kismat Love Paisa Dilli, which releases Friday, she will be seen romancing Vivek Oberoi.”This film is a thriller and has a great north Indian culture in it. After a long time, I am playing the-girl-next-door. Usually the parts that come to me are overtly glamorous. This is a realistic, no nonsense Delhi girl,” she said.”I am hoping to show my actor side more. My fans saw a glimpse of that in Pyaar Ke Side Effects and Ugly Aur Pagli,” she said.

Expressing confidence in Khanduri’s craft, Mallika added: “He is a maestro as a director. He knows his craft very well. He knows exactly what he wants.”
The girl from Rohtak who has been in the US for the last several years says she didn’t find any difficulty in relating to the role.Mallika made her debut in the Hindi film industry with Jeena Sirf Merre Liye but got fame with Khwahish for the 17 kissing scenes with co-star Himanshu Malik. She locked lips with Emraan Hashmi in Murder as well.
She got some appreciation for her acting skills in romantic comedy Pyaar Ke Side Effects.The actress believes that she has grown in the the last 10 years and says there have been “many ups and downs”.”Earlier, when I used to have a hit, I used to be ecstatic. And I would go into depression when I would have a flop; I used to go into depression. But you can’t take all this too personally,” she said.

“Experience changed me. As you grow older and do more films, you don’t take these things that seriously. For me, Hollywood also opened up. So I realised it’s all a part of the game; you just need to play it well. You can’t take things personally,” she said.
Any regrets?
“I have no regrets. Where is the time for regrets,” she said.

The Myth and Politics of Love are some of the international projects she has worked in. But Bollywood will remain a priority.

“Bollywood can never take a back seat. The kind of warmth and love that is here doesn’t exist anywhere,” she said.

Talking about the response to Hindi films abroad, she said: “They are curious about Bollywood. The language is a big barrier. They don’t understand Hindi. But they love the format, specially the songs and the colours which are used in the songs.”She credits Danny Boyle for opening the gates of Hollywood wider for Indian actors.

“After Slumdog Millionaire, doors are opening and things are changing. People (there) are realising that there is a life outside of America,” she said.

Actor Sachiin Joshi, who made his acting debut in AAZAAN, is all set to star in his next venture MUMBAI MIRROR with none other than the sensational Mallika Sherawat opposite him.

Sachiin plays a quirky cop in this realistic commercial film, while Mallika essays the role of a bar dancer. The movie mirrors Mumbai’s underbelly and revolves around the nexus between powerful corrupt dance bar lords and the Mumbai Police.

Directed by Ankush Bhatt, of BHINDI BAZAAR INC. fame, MUMBAI MIRROR has music by Anand Raj Anand. “Mallika and Sachiin make a very unique and fresh pair. Mallika is the apple of the teenage eyes, and her chemistry with daredevil Sachiin is sure to create a hullabaloo,” says the director.

The film will go on floors in April this year. Source

Dance is an important element of Hindi cinema. Some actors have rhythm in their step while others have to work really hard to get it right.

Choreographer Saroj Khan has been making actors dance to her tune for the last 50 years, and has choreographed the best and worst dancers of the industry. For instance, she says Madhuri Dixit is one of the best dancers she has worked with while Sonam Kapoor is one of the worst!

In this interview with Patcy N, Khan  rates the top actors and actresses, and reveals their dance secrets.

I don’t think there is any dance in (Mallika’s item number in Double Dhamaal) Jalebi Bai. The poor thing is just shaking her waist in circular movements! After that, she’s running from one corner to another. There’s no dance. Source

Mallika Sherawat might be travelling the whole world and working with the biggest filmmakers in Hollywood, but she still does not shy away from doing guest appearances in Bollywood movies.

Recently, she has been in the news as she is doing the item song in the upcoming Priyadarshan directed ‘Tezz’. Her first look is out, and she looks smoking hot! As ‘Laila’, she is sure to set the pulse racing. ‘Tezz’ stars Ajay Devgn and Anil Kapoor in the lead, and is releasing soon. Source

Its official, Mallika Sherawat has been signed opposite Vivek Oberoi in Amit Chandrra’s KISMAT LOVE PAISA DILLI (KLPD). Incidentally the film has been in the headlines off late as it was taken to be the sequel to the Director Sanjay Khanduri’s 2007 sleeper hit EK CHALLIS KI LAST LOCAL, with the name GYARAH CHALLIS KI LAST METRO doing the rounds. However the most interesting facet of the development of this film is the signing of Mallika Sherawat.

The source also goes onto add that when Sanjay and Amit approached Mallika with the script of KLPD that had the actress playing a parallel lead to the actor, Mallika readily agreed to do the film as she felt the role was too good to let go off and was excited to play a content driven lead, which she hasn’t done ever since PYAR KE SIDE EFFECTS, in which her performance was highly appreciated.

Bollywood stars celebrated Halloween with friends and family, and posted some pictures on twitter.

Neha Dhupia tweeted her picture (left), and asked, ‘Trick or treat ???’

Priyanka Chopra, who is in Los Angeles, celebrated Halloween at her studio. ‘halloween in the studio… loud music.. crazy beats.. party in the house… this one blows thru the roooooof!!!’ she updated.

Mallika Sherawat celebrated Halloween in Los Angeles as well, with drag queens! ‘With all ma drag queens;)’ she tweeted with the picture. More

This is for all you Mallika Sherawat fans. After making several appearances in gowns and revealing dresses with plunging necklines at international events, the actress chose to go completely desi on the first day of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards.

In the evening, at the green carpet for the premiere of her film Double Dhamaal, the Hisss girl was seen in a classic black and gold achkan-style kurta with pants, and carried the look with elan.

Why choose to suddenly look Indian? “Kyun (Why)? You don’t like it?” she shot back, and added: “I have worn a lot of dresses and gowns to the Oscars and the Cannes Film Festival. I was getting bored of them…So I decided it would be a good time for an Indian dose.” Source

It was a festive evening at Puranmal Juhu, as the air was full of anticipation and excitement, with Double Dhamaal’s Jalebi Bai Mallika Sherawat expected to visit and herself make jalebis for everyone!!

The glamourous actress arrived at the eatery in full enthusiasm and straighaway went to the jalebi frying counters and started making piping hot jalebis…!!

Also making jalebis with her was director Indra Kumar, and the duo fed each other, along with the everyone present, including media persons! More

The hottest buzz doing the rounds in tinsel ville is that the sizzling ‘Jalebi Bai’ Mallika Sherawat has shed her clothes for her upcoming film ‘Double Dhamaal’.

Reportedly, the B-town bombshell Mallika Sherawat will be showing her curves by donning a tangy orange bikini top with a golden beige printed sarong in the sequel of ‘Dhamaal’.

When Sanjay Dutt, who plays Mallika’s husband in the film, was asked to rate Mallika’s bikini avatar, the actor gave his on-screen wife a 7 out of 10. Source

One can’t deny the fact that there are a lot of expectations from DOUBLE DHAMAAL due to it being a franchise. While it is certainly expected that all four principal protagonists (Riteish, Arshad, Javed, Ashish) coordinate well to make the scene look seamless, audience is also looking forward to the film giving ‘double the entertainment’.

“I think now all four of us are pretty much in synch in each other,” says Riteish, “We all have started thinking alike. I don’t think now we would look like four actors just doing our job. We behave pretty much alike and are more like one actor in four different bodies.” More

Like Sanjay Dutt, his chauffeur Prasad also loves to act. Having been part of the Dutt household for ages (he has been driver to Sanjay’s mother Nargis as well as to his sister Priya during her student days), he feels some of the acting skills of his boss have rubbed on to him.

To fulfill his wish, the star made him act out one scene in Double Dhamaal with full costume and make-up. His co-star was Mallika Sherawat and though he had to play her father, he was absolutely thrilled!

Says a unit source, “They told him to act like a typical Hindi film dad. It was an emotional scene with MS pleading with him, but he remaining adamant.

And then suddenly, he is overcome with pain and suffers a heart attack.”
Adds the source, “It was Sanjay who requested director Indra Kumar to take Prasad for the scene. More
