Mallika Sherawat’s is a Pan-Indian figure and face. She is number one dream girl for youngsters all across the country.

That is why there has been a race among producers to book her in Tamil.

Of course, Mallika, being Mallika, has deigned to act only in two Tamil films. And that is with the two biggies --- Kamal and Rajni.

Sources say she will turn up for a dance in Rajnikanth’s Sivaji. Shankar has a penchant for Bollywood girls in his dance sequences. So Mallika has been the choice. Of course, a final word is still awaited on this.

Meanwhile, Mallika these days has been shooting for Kamal-Ravikumar’s Dasavatharam.

Mallika has been reportedly booked for a whopping sum of Rs. 40 lakhs.

Mallika, by all reckoning, is a very starry person and has been making a lot of demands on the production team.

She has also kept the media at bay, keeping their prying eyes and ears shut.

But Mallika, used to starry attitudes in Hindi, is amazed at the professionalism and punctuality of Kamal Haasan, who begins to get ready by around 4 a.m. for a shooting at 8 a.m. So impressed is she with Kamal that she can’t stop talking about his work culture.
