The Hissss bombshell, looking hot in a shocking pink dress, recently hung out with rock stars at the famed Sunset Strip music venue The House of Blues as a special guest of Donovan Leitch (son of legendary musician Donovan) at his Camp Freddy gig, Mallika met and hobnobbed with Ace Frehely of the band Kiss, Duff McKagan of Guns ‘n’ Roses, Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction, Billy Duffy of The Cult and Ozzy Ozbourne.
Accompanied by her Los Angeles entourage, Mallika hung out backstage before the show and then enjoyed her very first rock concert down front of the stage for the full experience. She "tweeted" throughout the night on her Twitter social networking account, saying to her followers 'OMG! Ozzy's on right now! I have no eardrums left!' and that notorious rake of rock Dave Navarro was 'very charming and a perfect gentlemen.'
The actress insisted on a body double for a scene in which she sheds her skin in the forest. Her brother Vikram Lamba, when quizzed by the press on whether Mallika had backed out from doing the scene herself, denied it outright. 'Yes, we have used a body double, but it was Jennifer Lynch (the director) who took a call on the matter and decided that we should use a body double.'
Starring Irrfan Khan and Divya Dutta, Mallika is a snakewoman with a vengeance. Gobbling up anything that comes her way, the movie is based on a Far Eastern myth of the snake woman who is able to take on human form. According to Mallika, this is by far her most difficult role too date; she had to wear huge contact lenses that even covered the white of her eyes and had to take out the lenses every few hours to let her eyes breathe. The elaborate nagin costume had to be kept on for 8-10 hours at a stretch and she has to be carried around.
Irrfan confirms, “Jennifer said I will have to take off my clothes for an intimate scene with Divya Dutta who is playing my wife in the film. I personally think Indian couples make love with their clothes on and I told this to Jennifer.”
