Mallika is not the one to give in to the tantrums of moral police

She is already on a high…. What if she gets higher on a booze and then goes ‘Main talli main talli ho gayi’, meaning I am drunk? It fetches a good job for the moral police once again who have already done it for Mallika creating a hue and cry for her skimpy dress at conservative Chennai for the music launch of Kamal Haasan’s film ‘Dasavatharam’.

So, this time the promos of Pritish Nandy Communications’ ‘Ugly Aur Pagli’ with Mallika in the ‘Talli’ song give sleepless nights to the moral police. Well, they are giving sleepless nights to other men too.

Pritish Nandy acts cool, shrugs his shoulder and says, “Let them say what they like. Firstly Talli is a zany fun song. Yes, Mallika Sherawat is saying she’s high in the song. But she could be high on life. Or she could be high on Coke…I mean the soft drink, ” he chuckles.

He continues saying, “Very honestly we need to stop wagging our fingers at other people. Why can’t a woman lose control in a pub and freak out? Is that the prerogative of men only?

I neither drink nor smoke. But I see nothing wrong with people who do. As long as you don’t drive when you drink what’s wrong with having a few drinks and creating some masti?”

Pritish Nandy says he is in principle opposed to any kind of moral censorship. “Don’t smoke don’t drink. Don’t do ‘it’ behind the bushes. Bah! Let people do what they like even if they seem to create a nuisance, so what? We all have the right to do what we like. And the Talli song is about having fun.”

Again, Mallika is not the one to give in to the tantrums of moral police. She was in a super mood as she kick started the promotional campaign of her forthcoming movie ‘Ugly aur Pagli’ with visits across Mumbai discos. She jived with Hard kaur on the movie songs at the ‘Talli Night’ promotional event of ‘Ugly and Pagli’.
