Mallika becomes Mallika-E-Azam
Says a unit member, "Mallika plays a starlet and part of a theatre group in MGMEA. In one of the plays the group stages, she plays Anarkali.
After some time Mallika got so much into her character that she started greeting the cast members with a special 'aadab' like Anarkali, instead of the usual 'hi' or 'hello'.
She
also
performed
elaborate
kathak
steps
for
no
rhyme
or
reason.
It
was
funny
to
see
her
actually
behaving
like
Anarkali!"
Director Sanjay Chel confirms Mallika"s little antics. "This was Mallika's way of creating a fun atmosphere on the sets," he justifies. "There were times when I would get stressed handling 18 actors on the sets and this was her way of diluting the grim atmosphere by bringing positive energy into it. She would salute all of us in Anarkali style and do some dance steps."
Sanjay is all praise for Mallika, "I am in love with her! Her hunger for acting and eagerness to experiment and try new things is amazing. She's also the most hassle-free actress I have worked with she"s always on time, attends every rehearsal and is totally undemanding. While Mallika is a spontaneous actress, Rahul Bose is methodical and disciplined and that generates lots of chemistry between them."

The

Mughal-E-Azam
song,
informs
producer
Ratan
Jain.
"MGMEA
is
almost
complete
with
only
two
songs
remain
to
be
shot.
In
the
film
Mallika
will
be
seen
in
a
whacky,
sizzling
hot
number
which
is
a
kind
of
take-off
on
the
song
Pyar
Kiya
Toh
Darna
Kya.
The
song
is
yet
to
be
shot."
After completing MGMEA, Jain will start his next comedy with David Dhawan.
