Mallika Sherawat in a pagli role

PNC"s next film directed by Sachin Kamlakar Khot has all the ingredients of an unusual love story. Khot says, “It"s a rom-com but an unusual love story.

One expects the boy and girl to behave in a certain manner as romance comes with certain notions attached to it, but in Ugly Aur Pagli you will find this unique couple (Ranvir Sheorey and Mallika Sherawat) who re-define the notion of love and romance."

Rangita Nandy adds, “We"ve heard of sweet romances coated in sugar. Now get set for a romance with a punch, some thuds and a whole load of serious arm-twisting. This is Bollywood"s quirkiest, kinkiest, funniest romance. It"s basically a vicious love story."

Differences

Talking about her characters Rangita says, “Ranvir is Ugly a total nerd who believes he"s God"s gift to womankind while Pagli (Mallika) is a violent woman who looks at love like war."

“Pagli doesn"t hesitate to pick up a fight with anybody. Nobody messes with Pagli pretty much what Mallika is like in real life. In fact in this film she saw a lot of herself in the character in many ways," adds Rangita.

Mallika"s look is unique, “We have given her a very 2008 look, hair coloured and with bangs. Ashley Rebello and Mallika have worked together on the concept. Ugly Aur Pagli will be a film where Ranvir will look his best."

Screen fantasy

One of the highlights of the film according to Rangita is, “There"s a song where Mallika plays out every fantasy men can think of. She plays every sexy character that you have ever seen on screen. I really don"t care what Mallika is to the rest of the world but there"s a phenomenal audience who swears by her."
