Mallika Sherawat Signs Double Dhamaal

Posted by admin on Aug 28th, 2010 | 0 comments

After a not so flattering career in Bollywood, Mallika Sherawat had done a small role in Welcome in 2007, after which she bade bye to Bollywood and looked for greener pastures in Hollywood. However, it does not exactly look like she has made hay there. Her Hollywood collaboration project Hisssss seems to show no sign of release and it now looks that Mallika does not want to waste any time and has signed on the dotted line for Dhamaal sequel, called Double Dhamaal. This is the movie that Vidya Balan backed out from citing that she was not happy with the remuneration.

Mallika is believed to be quite happy for working opposite against Sanjay Dutt against the Dhamaal sequel and has reportedly said that money is not a issue with her. This is strange considering that she had made it clear that she would charge nothing than an extremely flattering figure post her hit Murder. Producer Ashok Thakeria who is in Los Angeles added, “Mallika said she will take anything we give her. She’s just happy to be a part of brand like Dhamaal and that too opposite Sanjay Dutt.”

The other female lead in Double Dhamaal, Kangna Ranaut also seems to be okay with whatever is being given as remuneration. Kangana will be cast opposite Riteish Deshmukh in the film. Thakeria says, “We met up at Ritiesh’s home on Tuesday evening for a script reading session. Instead of having a proper workshop with the actors, Riteish suggested an informal get-together at his home. All of us barring Mallika (who is in LA) and Sanjay Dutt (who is in South Africa) from the Double Dhamaal team – Kangna, Javed Jaffrey, Ashish Chowdhry, Indra Kumar and I met up at Riteish’s house for a script reading. We were cracking up after every line. It was that funny.” Let’s hope the audience cracks up too.
