The actress essays the role of a nagin, (a snake woman)in Hisss that hit screens tomorrow.
"This film most certainly will be hotter and bolder thanmy previous films," Mallika said, adding, audiences can expectmore from Hisss as it "surpasses Murder and Khawish interms of oomph."
Directed by Jennifer Lynch, the film also features IrrfanKhan and Divya Dutta in key roles.
Mallika, who is busy promoting Hisss, admitted that,her brother objected to her nude scenes in the film. "I knowwhat I am doing..It is my job after all," she said.
The actress went on to say, "Hisss is the first naginfilm after a long break of over 20 years. It is indeed thesexiest and also the scariest.
"My movie is quite different from the previous naaginmovies. It is a modern day naagin film replete with specialeffects, sound and graphics. You can see the transformationfrom a snake into human and from human to a snake," she said.
About her character, the actress said, "I play the roleof a naagin, whose mate has been captured and she is outseeking revenge from the culprits."
Mallika feels Hisss is going to be a hit abroad becauseof foreigner's fascination with Indian mythology.
"I think the film will be a great hit abroad as 'naagin'is known to be the "fertility goddess" and people are veryfascinated with the mythological stories from India," shesaid.
