Actress
Mallika
Sherawat
has
chosen
promotion
of
her
upcoming
movie
Dirty
Politics
over
attending
a
party
in
US,
where
President
Barack
Obama
was
also
invited
as
it
is
the
"most
important
film
in
my
life".
She
said
she
skipped
the
dinner
at
the
party
that
was
to
be
attended
by
Obama.
"It
is
true...I
was
invited
to
a
dinner
in
US.
I
had
even
confirmed
that
I
was
attending
it.
But
then
I
got
a
call
from
KC
Bokadia
(director)
that
we
have
a
press
meet
today.
I
had
to
make
a
decision....For
me
Dirty
Politics
is
the
most
important
film
in
my
life." She
had
met
Obama
at
a
tea
party
in
Los
Angeles
in
2011.
She
was
reportedly
invited
for
tea
with
Obama
during
his
Presidential
campaign
visit
in
Hollywood
last
year.
Dirty
Politics
is
based
on
the
story
of
nurse
Bhanwari
Devi.
Mallika
has
been
roped
in
for
the
movie
by
Bokadia
to
play
the
lead
in
the
film
inspired
from
Bhanwari's
life.
"I
remember
making
a
comment
that
women
are
treated
like
cattle
in
this
country
but
I
received
a
flak
for
it.
But
that
proved
right
with
all
rape
cases
etc...
The
way
women
are
treated...
I
think
I
owe
it
to
myself
to
be
part
of
this
film
and
I
stand
for
it...
For
this
story
to
be
told
to
the
public,"
she
told
the
press
conference.
Dirty
Politics
also
stars
Om
Puri,
Jackie
Shroff,
Anupam
Kher
and
Ashutosh
Rana
among
others
and
is
slated
for
release
later
this
year.
