Mallika Sherawat's coffer has got phenomenally fat ever since she gave her a nod to play a part in Himesh Reshammiya's debut film as a leading man - 'Aap Kaa Surroor'.
Apparently she has charged, hold your breath, as much as Rs. 1.5 crore for acting in the film.
Well, this is not all because as per sources, she has only 10 minutes presence in the film. All of this means that her asking price for the film is as steep as Rs. 15 lakhs for every minute she appears in the film. Whew!
Unbelievable as it may sound but our source confirms that this is indeed true. Also, though it may be unbelievable but it is certainly not surprising for majority of insiders. Readers may remember that for her few minutes appearance in an event hosted by a 5 star hotel on New Years eve, she had charged a whopping amount that had raised many a eyebrows!
Mallika's popularity has only soared up post the release and success of 'Pyaar Ke Side Effects' & 'Guru' while her subsequent signing of 'Dasavatharam', a project where she features as a CIA agent opposite Kamal Hassan, has only added as another feather on her cap.
Since she has become overtly selective off late and is only green lighting projects that excite her in a big way, 'Aap Kaa Surroor' seems to be THE big project with which she has associated herself, both for the benefit of financial gains as well as those that come due to the fact that she is now one of the most talked about female actress ever since her association with the film was revealed.
Directed by debutant director Prashant Chadha, 'Aap Kaa Surroor' is a Vijay Taneja film which has been shot extensively in Germany, Thailand and India. Aiming at a June 29 release, the film stars Hansika Motwani as the leading lady paired opposite Himesh.
