CANNES:
Mallika Sherawat charmed one and all when she appeared
at a packed press conference in Cannes, alongside Jackie
Chan, the producer and star of her debut international
movie, The Myth .She
wore a low-cut golden dress and posed with Chan for the
photocall, minutes before the press conference began.
Sherawat wore enough jewellery in keeping with her
status as an "Indian princess". She said she
plans to wear some thing "outrageously sexy"
for the Cannes party.
Sherawat
began by graciously commenting: "I would like to
thank Jackie Chan and Stanley Tong for giving me this
opportunity to star in this film. It’s a very big
break for me. Bollywood will always be very important
(for me) because that’s my bread and butter. But the
whole world is becoming global now."
While Sherawat shone and sparkled, her co-actress, Kim
Hee Seon, a Korean, was equally elegant and exquisitely
beautiful.
Also
present in the conference were The
Myth 's director, Stanley Tony, and the actor,
Tony Leung Ka Fai.
Chan
explained that although he was keen to collaborate with
Bollywood – and if he ever made a film himself he
would go into partnership with India – the Indian
involvement in The Myth
was for him "a coincidence".
Mallika
said that "India and China coming together"
also appealed to her.
She added, "It’s a great opportunity for me to be
working with a superstar like Jackie Chan (and also
with) Stanley Tong. It’s a role to die for. (For me)
it’s a great debut internationally."
