Mallika, who entered the Indian film industry in 2003 with Khwahish , was recorded on video dancing with the Desperado star during a party in Cannes two years ago.
"I remember when they danced and they had a lot of PDA (Public Disply of Affection)," Los Angeles stylist Ivan Bitton was quoted by radaronline.com as saying.
"He was saying 'God you're so beautiful,' like a horndog would talk to a prey," he added.
After the report, the Murder actress tweeted on Thursday:
When Mallika was asked to comment on her relationship with Antonio Banderas by E! Online, Mallika said, "Antonio Banderas is a wonderful man, a great dancer and an acquaintance of mine."
"I did not go on any vacation with him, and I'm sorry he's going through a divorce," she was further quoted by E! Online.
She went on to say that Bitton was hired only for the international film festival.
"Ivan Bitton is not my best friend. I hired him as a stylist at Cannes and then fired him. I'm sure he released the video.
"I don't know what he's even talking about now. I haven't been in touch with Ivan since I fired him. Whatever he's saying about me is ridiculous," she said.
Hailing from Rohtak in Haryana, Mallika went international with the 2005 film The Myth, starring Jackie Chan and then did Jennifer Lynch's Hisss and William Dear's Politics of Love.
Her first visit to the Cannes festival was with Jackie Chan for the promotion of The Myth.
