The Mallika - Irrfan starrer 'Hissss' is hot!

Mallika Sherawat has reasons to rejoice. Her new film HISSSS has been picked by Endeavour, the same company that brokered the SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE deal with Fox. Right now, HISSSS is in the post-production stages in Los Angeles and the producers have decided to premiere the film at the Toronto Film Festival in September this year.

Meanwhile, the makers as also Endeavour have inked a deal with Storm Lion, the media conglomerate that's associated with several Hollywood studios, to take the film further -- new-age digital media. "A comic book series is in the offing, besides mobile content and games," producer Vikram Singh reveals.

HISSSS has been made in two languages - Hindi and English. Venus Records & Tapes present the film.

Mallika Sherawat’s making everyone cringe!

Blood, gore, awesome sound effects form the crux of Hisss. Sherawat plays a woman who becomes a snake and then goes on a killing spree. The gruesome killing scenes definitely make you cringe and so does the getup of Mallika clad in a snake costume. It is not at all like what we’ve seen in our Sridevi popularised Nagin films before. It is the Anaconda-esque version of Nagin.

The only problem is the film is directed by Jennifer Lynch of Boxing Helena (1993) fame. Her film had won her a Raspberry award for the worst director in 1994.

After disappointing her fans in a blink and miss role in The Myth, we’ve heard Mallika apparently has no dialogues in Hisss too! Ahem... we hope the film is as good as its promo though.

Ssssee Ssssherawth

The trailer of the much hyped and anticipated Mallika Sherawat film, Hissss is out and makes for an interesting watch.

Warning! Hissss is not for the faint hearted. It has plenty of blood and gore, and will surely get an adult certificate from the Censor Board.

Set in a jungle, the trailer shows Mallika Sherawat slithering in mud and becoming a snake. Covered in a body suit that fits her like second skin, it looks as if Mallika hasn't worn anything.

There are sequences with murders, blood and gore. Mallika is seen slithering up a tree and baring her fangs. She looks scary. In one scene, she transforms into a helpless woman. Irrfan and Divya Dutta are also seen in the trailer.

Hissss is the story of a snake woman looking for revenge. It is high on special effects too. She will not spare anyone who comes her way.

Irrfan and Divya Dutta play a couple in the film. Mallika Sherawat has also produced the Jennifer Lynch-directed film.
