Bollywood sex bomb Mallika Sherawat says that she will be a 'desi' exotica in any project that is offered to her in the West.
''The West is an open society. I will be a 'desi' exotica in any project that is offered to me'', Mallika said while talking to reporters in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Mallika is all set to make her foray in the international arena at this week's Cannes Film Festival.
Mallika, who will be at the international festival as one of Chinese action superstar Jackie Chan 's leading ladies in the film 'Myth', is open for more offers from the West.
Mallika, who starred in last year's successful Bollywood film Murder told reporters, ''I am basically attending the festival to promote my first overseas film 'The Myth', where I am cast opposite Jackie Chan. I am looking forward to meeting all leading actors at the red carpet and striking a rapport from them.''
Mallika said she was open to more offers for international projects and added that she was comfortable kissing on screen if the script demanded.
''I am not a hypocrite. I have done intimate scenes in my films and I was comfortable doing it because the script demanded so,'' she asserted.
Mallika described 'The Myth' as an action-oriented romantic film where she plays an Indian princess Jackie Chan rescues and falls in love with.
''I have done all the stunts myself'', she proclaimed proudly.
