Mallika Sherawat with Oliver Stone

Mallika Sherawat has just returned after a globetrotting spree. She was in Malaysia where she was rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood filmmaker Oliver stone. She was invited as a guest speaker at the Global Brand Forum 2008, which was held in Kuala Lumpur last week.

Mallika was part of an expert panel where she shared her thoughts & comments with Oliver Stone & Dato' Farah Khan, President of The Melium Group, the retailing and brand managing of international lifestyle and fashion labels.

The Bollywood hotty impressed everyone at the meet with her insightful & original views about the exciting challenges and opportunities facing the movie business and the impact of Indian films in brands and business.

The discussion was moderated by international TV interviewer Riz Khan.

About her exciting endeavor, Mallikka says; "It was a huge surprise for me to be invited to the global forum along with Oliver Stone - What do we have in common, I asked myself. I guess for better or for worse we both have our own brands - and as Oliver Stone says - people either love or hate his films, but certainly have a strong opinion about him, his politics and his films."

I guess its the same for me - there are young people around the country who have embraced me, and on the other hand there are lots of people in the country and in the film industry and in advertising who think I'm too controversial, radical etc., for their liking", she adds.

"Besides that he has a genius who has achieved so much and I've just begun my tough climb. But to share the same stage with someone who's made JFK, Platoon, Natural Born Killers and U Turn - All I can say is Wow!", she appeared very excited when she said that.
