Mallika Sherawat asks big money for a small role

Mallika Sherawat seems to have become pricey ever since she signed her first Hollywood movie three months back.

While Mallika’s high-headedness is not something new, the sex kitten has been on a high pedestal since she signed Hollywood movie Unveiled , to be directed by Bill Bannerman, who has worked as associate director under Clint Eastwood.

Having clinched such a big project, Mallika has been making quite unreasonable demands for her acting fee in Bollywood.

She is reported to have charge a hefty sum for her rather marginal role in Himesh Reshammiya’s movie Aap Ka Suroor .

But nothing comes close to the money she demanded from the makers of The Train for just a small cameo in the film.

Director Hasnain Hyderabadwala had approached Mallika with the offer of just a one-scene appearance at the movie’s end. Mallika was not even required to shoot for an entire day. An hour’s shooting at the most would have been enough to shoot her scene with Emraan Hashmi.

For this cameo appearance, Hyderabadwala had an offer of Rs 10 lakh for Mallika. But the busty babe gave the director a shock of his life by demanding Rs 1.25 crore.

Hyderabadwala was stunned because even the collective payment to the movie’s three actors, Emraan Hashmi , Geeta Basra and Sayali Bhagat , doesn’t come anywhere close to the sum quoted by Mallika.

And when producer Shyam Bajaj heard about Mallika’s demand, he had a hearty laugh.

The cameo was eventually shot with another girl.
