Mallika had fallen out with Mahesh Bhatt

The Bhatts are staying miles apart Mallika Sherawat these days. Never mind, if this is the same lady who got her big break with the Bhatts with the film Murder in 2004.But here’s the reason why the blue-eyed girl of the Bhatts has suddenly fallen out of favour. The reason is the same: Her reported attitude that is lately scaring away filmmakers from her. Three years back, Pooja Bhatt had announced a project titled Cabaret which was supposed to have Mallika Sherawat in the lead, but the film never took off. It was rumoured that Mallika had fallen out with Mahesh Bhatt after having a tiff with Emraan Hashmi. This ugly incident happened during the shooting of the film and rift never got bridged after that.

Now even as Pooja is breathing life into the project, there will be no signs of Mallika in it. The movie is set to go on the floors next year and is now being directed by scriptwriter-turned-filmmaker Shagufta Rafique.
“Mallika is not the same person that she was four years ago. She would have jumped into the project after hearing the script. Now she is only concerned about money and not roles. So, we have decided not to even approach her for the film because we know she will not do it,” says director Shagufta.Cabaret narrates the story of a girl who works as a pole dancer and seduces men with her moves. The girl meets a man who falls head-over-heels in love with her but she does not realise the man’s worth till the end.
She goes on to break this man’s heart.“It is an interesting script and we are currently looking to cast for the film. The film goes on floors next year and so we need to finalise things. It is not a mega budget film but we are looking out for good actors,” she says.
