Here goes the story of Mallika & her possessive brother Vikram.
Mallika who is currently shooting for Hissss had to wear a skin-coloured bikini for a shot, which was being canned on a dark, cold night. A naked body double was positioned directly behind her. The game plan of the director, Jennifer Lynch, was to take close-ups of Mallika and full body shots of the double. Mallika was to be filmed on a tree, leaning on a branch.
But all of a sudden, Mallika’s brother Vikram who is one of producers of Hissss barged onto the set and forcefully stopped the shooting. “My sister will not wear such a short, blasphemous bikini,” he shouted, to the astonishment of the entire crew present. The nude body double, meanwhile, rushed into the vanity van to cover her modesty.
One of the producers Govind Menon came to the scene and tried to convince him unsucceessfully. Tempers rose and the shooting was stopped for 2 hrs. Mallika however took Govind's side claiming that she had no problem in doing the scene wearing such a bikini.
However Vikram wouldn't budge a bit. In the end, the bikini was replaced with a longer, skin-coloured bodysuit, which was not as transparent as the earlier outfit.
Bravo Vikram!
