Mallika turns bad

The oomph belle from Bollywood will show the shades of villainy in a Tamil film.

Mallika Sherawat has got an important role in the Kamal Haasan starrer Dasavatharam. It is now learnt that the busty belle will play a negative role in the film.

The movie has a rather unusual plot and story. It has Kamal Haasan in as many as ten roles. In his acting career Kamal has played double roles in many films. He set a record for himself by playing four roles in his comedy Michael Madana Kama Rajan. And now he takes a giant leap with ten roles in Dasavatharam.

Asin is the main heroine of Dasavatharam. Interestingly, she plays a double role.

Mallika plays a sensuous vamp. As learnt, she is cast opposite one of the ten characters that Kamal plays in the film.

Reports quote Kamal as saying that he offered Mallika the role when she was in Chennai shooting for Mani Ratnam’s film Guru in which she plays a cameo. Kamal says Mallika had no reservations about playing a negative role.

Dasavatharam will be directed by K S Ravikumar. The film goes on the floors this weekend.
