Man-eater Mallika Sherawat, long distance from LA, opens up on her Hissss-story. Ever since it was launched, your home production, Hissss, has been an eagerly anticipated film but it's been in the making for a while now.
Will 'Hiss' be as awe-inspiring as the 10-years-in-the-making 'Avatar'?
Hissss is a complicated, special effects loaded film. And this genre of film needs time for post-production, especially in Hollywood. I don't think any film in the world can be compared to Avatar, the most expensive movie ever made. But Hissss will definitely raise the bar as far as special effects in India is concerned.
Your co-star Irrfan Khan says that the role of the vengeful reptile is tailor-made for you. That with your sizzling sensuality and sharp teeth, you make a frightening yet alluring man-eater.
Any compliment from the great Irrfan Khan is flattering. I'm a huge fan of his work and excited to see him in our movie.
What exactly do you mean?
Well, the nagin (female snake) is the ultimate femme fatale - a venomous shape-shifter. But at the same time, she is a sympathetic character. In our mythology she's been depicted as a goddess and that in modern terms, would be a translated as a superhero. That's my interpretation of the character. Most women are afraid of snakes, aren't you? No, I'm not particularly afraid of snakes. They are pretty fascinating creatures. My earliest memories are of snake charmers who used to pass through my village in Haryana. We have had several superhit reptilian films in the past on love and vengeance, including Vyjayanthimala's Nagin, Reena Roy's Nagin and Sridevi's Nagin.
