Mallika Sherawat is all set to return to Bollywood after 6 years with the horror movie ‘Naagmati‘.
Mallika Sherawat will be seen playing a double role in this VC Vadivudaiyan’s directorial.
In the 2010 release of Hiss, Mallika played a shape-shifting serpent who avenges the death of her mate and now after eleven years, it is a role reversal for Sherawat. In Naagmati, Mallika plays a princess trying to save her kingdom from a snake’s curse.
As per reports, director says, “Mallika is playing her first double role. Her character is called Naagmati as the royal family is cursed by a naagin. Mallika will sport two distinct looks. It’s a period movie that takes place in three eras — 1900, 1947 and 1970.”
A set of a palace has been built at ND Studios in Karjat. The Mumbai leg will be followed by a stint in Rajasthan and an international schedule in South Africa. Vadivudaiyan adds, “Mallika will engage in fighting and sword-wielding in the actioner. The pandemic gave her the time to prepare for the stunts; she has trained in horse-riding and sword-fighting for the film.”
The film will be originally shot in Hindi and later dubbed into Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
