Vivek Oberoi and Mallika Sherawat
After Kismat Love Paisa Dilli (2012), Mallika Sherawat teams up with Vivek Oberoi again in Rosie: The Saffron Chapter. She is the latest addition to the horror-thriller, which marks the Bollywood debut of Palak Tiwari, daughter of telly star Shweta Tiwari. Sherawat was last seen in the web series, Booo Sabki Phategi (2019), alongside Tusshar Kapoor. Vishal Mishra's directorial venture is based on true-life incidents in Gurugram. VO is also on board as a producer.
Mallika had earlier said that in her initial days in the film industry, filmmakers were interested in exploring her 'bold' image rather than acting skills and never found her a good fit as a 'Bollywood heroine'. She got famous for her bold scenes in the 2004 film Murder, and ever since has been living with the tag of a 'bold' heroine.
The image of women in the entertainment industry is changing. Sharing her opinion on it, Mallika told IANS, "It is such a progressive step towards a positive direction, now I feel that the film industry is much inclusive for women rather than the earlier days when I started out. These days filmmakers are thinking of writing multi-dimensional roles for women in cinema. When I came into the film industry, filmmakers did not know what to do with me, what kind of role I should be offered because I am a strong, opinionated actress with no inhibitions of 'kissing on screen'. I am always comfortable in my skin."
Mallika Sherawat has appeared in Bollywood and international films like The Myth, Welcome, Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam, Ugly Aur Pagli and Hisss.
