[1]For all that high-handedness of actress Mallika Sherawat, she is a thorough professional. Known to throw tantrums on sets, Mallika took the cast and crew of her upcoming film Kismat Luv Paisa Dilli by surprise in Delhi.
The freezing temperatures in the capital took a toll on Mallika and she fell ill, but she didn’t allow the shooting to be postponed.
A source present on the sets says, “It’s freezing cold here in Delhi and the rains haven’t helped the proceedings at all. We were shooting late in the night and Mallika started shivering due to the cold weather and eventually ended up coming down with high fever. As a result of that she became too weak and was unable to shoot. But despite weakness Mallika continued to film the sequences since the Delhi schedule needs to be wrapped up on time.”
The source added that the production arranged for a doctor at around 4 am in the morning to give Mallika some medication. And only after that the shooting resumed.
Producer Amit Chandra says that despite tough conditions, the film is turning out to be great, “These are things that we don’t have control of, but Mallika shot despite being unwell which is great and talks a lot about her professionalism.”
KLPD is produced by Chandra’s Invincible Entertainment along with Krishan Chaudhary’s Shrishti Cine Entertainment. It is a comic thriller set in Delhi and will see Mallika and Vivek Oberoi share screen space together for the first time.
