Mallika Sherawat's painful transformation from siren to snake Bollywood siren Mallika Sherawat is going through a lot of physical strain while playing a snake woman in
the fantasy flick Hisss. Mallika is nowadays busy playing the toughest part of her career that of a woman
gradually metamorphosing into a Naagin. The actress has to sit through long make up sessions and has to
put on snake suits before every shoot.
Just getting Mallika ready for the shoot takes hours. She has been assigned two assistants one does the
make up on her body, the other on her face. The make up takes anywhere between 2 to 4 hours depending
on which scene she is shooting. Mallika also has to put on huge contact lenses during the shoots. The
lenses have to be removed after every half an hour to avoid any damage to her eyes. But the most tortuous
part is getting into the snake suit.
Hollywood's special effects expert Robert Kurtzman, who's working on this film, has reportedly got a
good number of snake suits for Mallika. The suits are difficult to get into, and once inside, Mallika can't
come out until the day's shooting is over. Which means that the actress can't do normal things like eating,
drinking, going to the loo, or even chatting on phone when she has her make up and suit on. |
