Director Sachin Khot, who forays into Bollywood with the forthcoming romantic comedy Ugly Aur Pagli, is all praise for the lead lady and Bollywood's hottest oomph girl Mallika Sherawat. "In the film, Mallika is the beauty with the brains and she meets a geek (Ranvir Shorey). The story is about how they ultimately fall in love with each other," said Khot.
He further added, "It is a humorous talk on today's relationships and how the tables have turned, where the men are from Venus and women are from Mars and how they are actually playing each other's role.”
On the character played by Mallika director Khot said, "In today's age, women are doing much better in lots of spheres and why shouldn't this be touched upon? Mallika plays a dominating character in the film, but I would not literally call her the man of my film. Luckily, both my actors shared a good chemistry.”
Ranvir Shorey, the male lead who faces Mallika's wrath in the film, said, "It is crazy to even think that a girl is making you do the wildest of things and has complete control over you. One might think that it makes a man effeminate. However, there is an interesting side to it also that how two unlikeliest people fall in love with each other."
Mallika Sherawat is courageous to express her opinions in public. She enjoys a very wide fan-following as any modern celebrity female can have, but she is criticized often by the orthodoxy for her dressing code and bold portrayal of women. Sometimes she borders on the vanity of a spoiled teen as it happened when she labored to promote a Jackie Chan movie. She won only a small role in Jackie Chan’s movie, The Myth but she made a widely publicized appearance at the Cannes Film Festival to promote The Myth. She made news in gossip columns too when she went overboard about the movie and Jackie Chan. However, it is sometimes contagious with celebrities and Mallika Sherawat is not an exception.
