‘Mallika has been paid what she deserves’ : Himesh Reshammiya

7 June 2007 | Movies | No Comments

BollywoodHimesh Reshammiya thrives on speculation. He is impartial to his Mallika Sherawat and Hansika Motwani, his leading ladies in Aap Ka Surroor, he says. And feels that Mallika'a anger at feeling short-changed in the film is completely unfounded. Himesh says, "Both Mallika and Hansika were signed before we left for Germany to shoot. We never made any effort to hide the fact that Hansika was a child artiste or that she was doing a South film before she was signed for Aap Ka Surroor. As for Mallika, hers isn't a ten-minute role. She's done two songs and that itself comes to eleven minutes, Mallika is very annoyed by the rumour about her abbreviated role and also about the speculation on her fee. Mallika has been paid what she deserves. No more no less."

Apparently, Mallika refused to kiss the capped musician. "How can I kiss Mallika in Aap Ka Surroor? She plays a full-fledged negative role. My equation with my leading lady would've been completely spoilt if I kissed Mallika," he clarifies.

Himesh enjoyed shooting the Mehbooba song with Mallika. He says, "She's a thorough professional. And I must say she plays the part of Helenji from Sholay very well. My director Prashant Cheddha has tried to retain the '70s flavour from Sholay in the song. He has also brought in the modern setting of James Bond's Casino Royale." Saroj Khan has choreographed Himesh Reshammiya's Mehbooba in Aap Ka Surroor. And everyone is wondering how it compares with Ganesh Hegde's Mehbooba in Ram Gopal Varma's Sholay. …

The mysterious hair under Himesh's cap is also revealed in the film. He says, "For ten very dramatic minutes I appear without a cap. Even in the Mehbooba song I appear without the cap for half the film. People will get to know through the film why I wear a cap. He thinks , "All the controversies have kept interest alive in the film. I hope the film lives up to the hype." ….read more
