Mallika stays silent So much has been said about Mallika Sherawat's role in Jennifer Lynch's Hisss
The Vengeance Of Naagin but what one does not know is that Mallika has no
dialogues in the film. When asked, director Jennifer Lynch laughs and says,
"Mallika is a snake so how is she expected to talk? She does not know the
human language. The world of words and sentences is unknown to her. As a
snake, she has other senses with which she communicates. Even when she
transforms from her snake form to the human one, she does not speak. Mallika
was rather freaked out when she was told that she had no lines. As an
actress, she is used to conveying her emotions and expressions through
dialogues."
Incidentally Jennifer had not considered Mallika for the role. "She plays a
role one has never seen before. Producer Govind Menon introduced me to her.
He said I should meet her so I went and Googled her. What I saw was an
onslaught of beautiful photographs. She is everything I tried to convince men
that did not exist. There's no doubt of her being a beautiful, sensual,
smart, funny and kind human being. I heard that she was a sex symbol, a
kissing queen etc. It was good that I didn't know her before I saw some of
her work. I wouldn't be able to make her sensual and ugly. She has many other
facets," says the director. |  |
