The actress got the idea of this film when a inquisitive fan posted on her twitter page asking if she would ever consider being a part of a film like this. The actress was really kicked about the idea and expressed her excitement about doing such a project.
For some time now Mallika has been busy tweeting about this imaginary film idea and asking her followers on the social networking to sign up on the petition. So far there have been only 36 signatories who have shown their excitement about a project like this.

Mallika outdoes Priyanka on Popularity

Just a few days back reports about the so-called war between Bollywood hotties Priyanka Chopra & Mallika Sherawat were doing the rounds, as to who's got more popularity on the social networking site Twitter. It was being said that Priyanka has more followers than Mallika. While Mallika has around 8000 fan-following on Twitter than Priyanka has a record of 10,000 fans in a month.

On knowing about Priyanka's claiming sources, Bollywood's hottest diva Mallika Sherawat herself, speaks out, 'I was encouraged by Twitter employees to help get more Bollywood celebrities and their fans on Twitter, and I'm so happy Priyanka fell into my trap!'

'In a country of over a billion, we still have a long way to go. 10,000 followers on Twitter is just the beginning. And in the end, whether it's the number of followers one has on Twitter, or like most other things-- it's not the size that matters, it's what you do with them that counts. In fact, there are many Indians who have more followers on Twitter than both Priyanka and myself combined. They and the people who joined Twitter from the beginning are pioneers.'

She went on jokingly, 'And if people really wanna make a controversy out of myself and Priyanka being on Twitter, they've come to the right place! I hereby challenge Priyanka to a virtual 'Tweet-off!' When asked what a 'tweet-off' would mean, she admitted, 'I have no idea. Let the followers decide.'

A source close to the actress also adds, ''Mallika Sherawat was the first who became aware of the importance of Twitter. At the behest of her HISSS producers, Mallika started 'tweeting' on the website while living in Los Angeles during the film's post-production. Soon after, Mallika became a regular tweeter, enjoying the direct interaction with fans, friends and family back home in India, as well as the creative outlet the service provided her.'

Mallika even visited Twitter, met the employees and danced with the CEO Evan Williams at the Twitter HQ and was even crowned as 'Queen of Twitter'.'

Mallika will be visiting the Twitter headquarters on July 14 where she'll greet her fans, tour the Twitter office and give inspirational remarks to Twitter employees during their lunch break. Mallika has been using Twitter to keep in touch with fans and document her experiences in Hollywood.

Sherawat, who since arriving in Hollywood has garnered awards, celebrity friends and even a Hollywood milkshake named after her, decided to join the Twittering class as a way to keep in touch with fans back home in India.

"One of the hard things about spending time in the U.S. was being so far away from my fans in India, " she said. By "tweeting" her experiences in the States, Mallika says she "hopes to also further the connection between Hollywood and Bollywood."

For the largely South Asian paying audience, this is going to be money well spent, or paisa vasool... as Ms Sherawat’s fans will say.

Mallika Sherawat's Duet with Yanni?

You'd think all Mallika Sherawat was doing in faraway Los Angeles was getting milkshakes named after her and twitter-ing in supposed solitude, but she may just have more up her sleeve -- even it's usually sleeveless in her case.

The buzz is that while having dinner with the producers of her first ever American-Indo film Hisss, the dare bare actress 'happened' to meet new age composer Yanni and big time Hollywood record producer Ric Wake, who has previously worked with names like Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez.
Yanni and Wake are collaborating for a musical extravaganza titled Yanni's Voices that opens on June 23 in Los Angeles.

Hollywood.TV's Sheeraz Hasan, who was part of the meeting, confirmed that Mallika has indeed been invited by the duo for the show.

But the real deal -- from what we hear -- is that Mallika is angling for a tie-up when Yanni visits India during his forthcoming world tour. It may be recalled that Yanni has previously performed within the the Taj Mahal in Agra -- it was an internationally televised music event.

So what's the likely tie-up? Well, Mallika may be doing a snake goddess dance from Hisss as part of Yanni's program during his India tour. Is it Mallika dancing to Yanni's tunes, or vice-versa? Or neither? We'll know soon enough.

Mallika: the vegetarian man eater

In this disturbing picture (above) Mallika Sherawat is a shape-shifting naagin, who has just swallowed a man in a scene from her upcoming movie Hisss. But Mallika, like many of her Bollywood peers, is a hardcore vegan. Which means she’s not just sworn off all forms of meat, but she’s also given up all milk products. No cheese, milk, butter or even curd for Mallika.

The role was a stretch for the vegan actress. “ The role I play was very demanding. In the film I’m sexy, venomous and I swallow whole.” she said.

Sexy Mallika, rumoured to be Playboy India’s first cover girl when it launches soon, credits vegetarianism for her great
figure. In a recent reply to a fan on a social networking site, Mallika wrote: “I am indeed veg and proud of it! How do u think I maintain this body figure?”

Mallika’s not the only sexy vegetarian in Bollywood — Amitabh Bachchan has been leading the pack for a while now.
And PETA India (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) believes all Indians should follow suit. PETA has launched a
campaign to get the world to abstain from meat for at least a day, on June 5, to reduce carbon emissions produced from non-vegetarian fare.

PETA has a bevy of stars in their kitty of ambassadors for vegetarianism — including John Abraham, Celina Jaitley, R Madhavan and Jiah Khan — and will hopefully soon shoot a campaign with Mallika, said Anuradha Sawhney, chief functionary, PETA India. For this year’s World Environment Day, the organisation is working on campaigns with wrestler Sushil Kumar and actress Malaika Arora Khan.

They have also called on Amitabh Bachchan to serve only vegetarian food at the upcoming IIFA Awards and has strengthened its campaign against fastfood chain KFC. There were protests against the chain with placards on Thursday in CP. A spokesperson from the chain said that while they “appreciate PETA’s concern”, they feel they are “being targeted for publicity.”

Mallika's late night Networking...

Where exactly has Mallika Sherawat disappeared to? The sex siren is hardly seen these days and rarely reacts to anything around her. So, what's with this new-found 'unsocial' streak?

Speaking exclusively to After Hrs, the bootylicious actor informs that all this while she has been in Hollywood working on the post-production of Hisss (directed by Hollywood director Jennifer Lynch and co-starring Irrfan Khan). And what else was she doing? Well, Mallika was networking.

The star reveals that her stay in Hollywood has actually got her hooked onto Twitter, the favourite social networking tool among Hollywood stars. In fact, she can't go through the day without logging on to her profile on the social networking site numerous times over. "The username called @MallikaLA on Twitter is me. I have gotten addicted to it. It can be fun, and can connect people. And when people are connected, amazing things can happen," Mallika says.

Mallika says that she got hooked onto social networking sites as there were times when she used to feel lonely in the US. She even joined a class to learn how to use different social networking sites before she got hooked onto Twitter. "One of the hard things about spending time in the US was being so far away from everybody. Tweeting helped," she remarks, hastening to inform, "Do you know that Ashton Kutcher has one million followers there? Even Britney is a rage on the site. I found out that Shah Rukh is hooked on to it too."

Mallika is also kicked about that the fact that she became the first Bollywood star to be honoured with her own milkshake at Hollywood hotspot Millions of Milkshakes in West Hollywood, following in the footsteps of Hollywood celebs like Miley Cyrus, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Perez Hilton and Tim Allen.

While the Mallika Shake comes with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries with chocolate sauce and a dash of whipped cream on top, says the star, "It's wonderful that Hollywood has welcomed me with open arms, whether it's lunch with the Mayor or a milkshake being named after me. It's cool to have a Mallika Shake next to a Leonardo DiCaprio Shake!" she purrs, licking her lips.

Bollywood bombshell Mallika charges a Bomb for appearing in Sallu's Dus Ka Dum

Bollywood bombshell Mallika Sherawat, whose fans are waiting eagerly for the release of her new movie Hiss, has reportedly charged a bomb to make a special appearance in Sony Entertainment Television's (SET) popular television game show Dus Ka Dum.

Due to popular public demand, Sony decided to continue the television show, which stars Salman Khan as the host, and to add celeb-quotient to it, the organizers had approached the Kapoor sisters (Karishma and Kareena), who readily agreed to be a part of the show.

The organizers also wanted Bollywood's sexy bombshell Mallika Sherawat to be a part of the show as she is a good friend of Sallu.

However, friendship comes at a cost or so it seemed to SET as Mallika began acting pricey, saying she could not be available for the show as she had a packed schedule.

"But when the organizers persisted, Mallika relented and demanded a whopping Rs.50 lakh as guest appearance. Sony's representatives were shocked but agreed as Mallika is a full entertainment and her appearance would increase the show's ratings," a source close to the development said.

"In the game show she will be talking about her next release, Hissss, which is being directed by Hollywood director Jennifer Lynch," the source said.

As for the Kapoor sisters, the source said, "Both Bebo (Kareena) and Lolo (Karishma) were approached by the channel. Karisma is busy tending to her daughter Samaira and Kareena's occupied with professional commitments, but still the two sisters readily agreed to go on the show because they are fond of Sallu. Both girls have always declined invitations by reality shows earlier to appear together. But for Salman's sake, they made an exception and will appear together in the very first episode of the show (May 30)," the source said.

Meanwhile, Sallu has refused to use his star power to rope in big names for the show as he is reportedly being paid less than last time for hosting the show.

However, Sallu said he has no problems with the producers whatsoever.

"It is true that I had some issues with the producers of the show. I was given big money for the first season but now it is recession time and I have reduced my fees accordingly. There was some initial disagreement about the amount of reduction but now things have been sorted out," Sallu said

"The reason I decided to host the second season of Dus Ka Dum is because my fans loved seeing me on the game show last year. I am back by popular demand. If they (fans) wouldn't have liked it, the channel surely would not have come out with the show again and mujhe toh bilkul nahi lete (they wouldn't have taken me)," he said.

However, unlike last time when Sallu took charge of personally inviting celebrities to the game show, this time Sony TV will be responsible.

"The reason why Sony is taking care of the celebrities is that I have been left with a few friends in the industry. There are a few left and I will try to get them on the show," Sallu said.

Sallu also said he has no animosity with Shah Rukh Khan and is ready to welcome him on the show too.

"If Sony wants to bring him (Shah Rukh) then he is more than welcome. It'll be his good fortune if he comes. I don't have a problem with it. It's not a big deal. After all, I'm not getting married to him!!" Sallu said. But personally, Sallu said he would prefer to have guests like Govinda, Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol, Dharmendra, Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi on his show.

In the first season of Dus Ka Dum, Sallu had roped in popular celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Aamir Khan, Imran Khan, Govinda, Akshay Kumar, Rani Mukherjee and David Dhawan.

Sallu also refused to speak to the media about his professional rivalry with Shah Rukh Khan. "Even if I did (have a problem with Khan), I wouldn't discuss it publicly," he said.

Sallu also lashed out at the media for portraying him as the bad boy of Bollywood. "Celebrities are always in a catch-22 situation. You keep writing false stories and when there is no reaction, the falsehood continues. If you react, more will be written," he said.

Incidentally, Sallu's game show received higher TRP (above 3.5) than that of rival Shah Rukh Khan's Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain (about 2.5) and even boosted SET's position in the television pecking order. Not surprisingly, Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain will not be having a second season.

Dus Ka Dum also offers the highest cash prize - Rs.10 crore - among all the game shows.So will that mean we will be seeing more of Sallu? "If the response for the second season is good, we will go ahead with the third and fourth season. If fans want I will keep doing more seasons of Dus Ka Dum. I will not get bored of this show because I like it. I like the whole set-up and atmosphere, interaction with the audience and their reactions," he said.

What's Mallika got to do with Rock?

Workshop's most controversial song Bunty and Mallika Sherawat has got as many as 16,500 hits on youtube. Obviously it had to make its way to the band's album Khooni Murga slated to release on Saturday.

Workshop which is the brainchild of Sahil Makhija, is also loaded with heaps of wit and humour. Their lyrics go from ridiculous to disgusting. They write about everything from big breasted guys in the jungle inspired by a B-grade movie to masturbation in the song called I Came. And if you think that it could not get weirder than this, you should know that there's also a song on The Demonic Omlette which Sahil often makes for his friends.

"We have everything from boobies to butt cracks in our album. And everything from rap to bhangra. "Why do you write such wacky stuff? Well honestly we do it because no one else does. As for the subjects begin weird, I completely disagree because subjects like these are extremely normal and have been completely distorted by society and made into this horrible things which they are absolutely not. Also they make for hilarious content and lets face, it everyone loves a dirty joke now and then!," says Sahil, the lead singer.

The comedy band's music is ranges from rock, pop, jazz, fusion, metal and hip hop. But the strong point of the band obviously is the song writing which is sure to keep you in splits-- the title Khooni Murga itself suggests what to expect. The trio of Sahil (the Demonstealer) on vocals and guitars, Hamza Kazi (Humzoid) on drums and Riju Dasgupta (the Rijunator) on bass made a mark in Channel V Launchpad where they had reached the top five. They had been working on the album however, long before the show.

Bollywood Bombshell Mallika Sherawat Charges A bomb!

Mallika Sherawat will be appearing on Salman Khans game show ‘Das Ka Dum’ on May 24. The celebrity game show will feature a panel of celebs participating in humorous and entertaining challenges. But this will not go without a high price, a very high price.

Sources say that Mallika will only appear on the show if she receives whatever payment she wants. Here’s the great part, the producers are going to conceit to her demands. Salman will not be using his celebrity influence to recruit players for the show. This means that the produces will have to lour celebrities in the old fashioned way, by waving a nice big check in front of their faces.

So what does this mean? This means Mallika has the power to ask for as much money as she wants to appear on the one hour game show. It is reported that the star has her demands set at Rs. 50 lakh.

Some are speculating that the deal is a way to patch up the rocky relationship she has with Salman. For whatever the reason, what a deal it is. Where else can you go to get paid to win money? Because I want to sign up.
