Mallika Sherawat Photos and Videos

Mallika Sherawat, who is undoubtedly maximising to its full extent the post-production period in the US for Hissss recently attended the New York Fashion Week where she appears to have made a big impact on celebrity photographer Patrick McMullan. “Mallika, you are not only the most beautiful Indian actress, you’re the most beautiful actress. Period!” he exclaimed, whilst entertaining her on his Fashion’s Night Out event.

After confirming with her that she was once known as the Kissing Queen of Bollywood, he went on to add, “Let me capture those luscious lips on my camera,” before making good his promise.

Attending the BCBG Max Azria show at the Fashion Week in a tight body-hugging black tube dress, Mallika confirmed that Max would be designing for her in future and has asked her to become the Indian face of his collection – possibly even walking the ramp for him at the Paris Fashion Show. “It will be an honour for me to represent such a talented designer who has dressed all the top Hollywood stars,” she said, “Regarding walking the ramp for him, it’s still a work in progress.”

Blood, gore, awesome sound effects form the crux of Hisss. Sherawat plays a woman who becomes a snake and then goes on a killing spree. The gruesome killing scenes definitely make you cringe and so does the getup of Mallika clad in a snake costume. It is not at all like what we’ve seen in our Sridevi popularised Nagin films before. It is the Anaconda-esque version of Nagin.

The only problem is the film is directed by Jennifer Lynch of Boxing Helena (1993) fame. Her film had won her a Raspberry award for the worst director in 1994.

After disappointing her fans in a blink and miss role in The Myth, we’ve heard Mallika apparently has no dialogues in Hisss too! Ahem… we hope the film is as good as its promo though.

Not alone Mallika Sherawat, but it’s a great disappointment for everyone who were eagerly waiting for the arrival of Oprah Winfrey in India. World’s most famous lady was supposed to visit India after she was bounded with much fascination for mythological figure of ‘Hanuman’. Well, Mallika on her post production works for her Hiss in Los Angeles got along very well with Oprah. Indeed, as she discussed about her enchantment on the Monkey God Hanuman and his universal strength, Malikka promised to take her for Hanuman’s birthplace (Hampi in Karnataka).

Mallika who arrived in Goa yesterday morning was expecting Oprah’s arrival by private jet. But at the last moment before her departure, she was urged by her agents to stop her journey due to ‘Swine Flu’. Although the actress was much dashed down with her hopes, she has uttered that once upheavals about flu are over, Oprah would surely visit India.

Mallika Sherawat joins the likes of Victoria Beckham, David Beckham and Paris Hilton by getting a milkshake named after her in Hollywood.

The ‘Mallika Shake’ features blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Sherawat who is famous for her curves, was also photographed making milkshake with cherries, bananas and whipped cream.

She would be attending this weekend’s Fangoria Conference at the LA Convention Center to talk about her new film Hisss. Sherawat was also spotted attending an elite luncheon hosted by the Mayor of the City of LA.

The film, directed by Hollywood director Jennifer Lynch is said to be a new take on the ancient Indian myth of a vengeful ‘Naagin’ (Female cobra) with a combination of special effects.

Mallika Sherawat has been hitting the nightspots of Hollywood hoping to make a name for herself. Meanwhile, the producers of the movie, directed by Jennifer Lynch, and also starring Irrfan Khan and Divya Dutta, hope to show the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival and are looking for a distribution deal in the US. “Hisss could’ve been like any other snakewomen story,” says Irrfan, “But the way Jennifer has treated the story has taken the film to another level. The special effects will shock our audiences!”

Meanwhile, Mallika is working on Fauj Mein Mauj, a comedy about a woman who joins an all-male army regiment. The film also stars Paresh Rawal and Lillette Dubey. In addition, there’s Unveiled, another Hollywood movie. This one is about an identity theft that goes horribly wrong; and then her third Hollywood movie in quick succession will be The Aquarian Gospel which seeks to tell the story of Jesus’ missing years.
