After superhit films like ‘Naagin’, ‘Nagina’ and ‘Jaani Dushman’ based on snakes and their revenges, this one is the next in Bollywood. What makes this special is that we have Bollywood’s sex kitten, Mallika Sherawat playing the snake woman here and that too, with an intricate detailing and styling to get into the right look for the Snake Woman in this film.
This Bollywood- Hollywood co-production, ‘Hissss’, is directed by renowned Hollywood director Jennifer Lynch. The film, which also stars Irrfan Khan, has Mallika play a character of a snake that transforms into a stunningly attractive woman. The film is produced by Govind Menon & Vikram Singh.
A lot of efforts has gone in from Robert Kurtzman, one of the greatest special effects artists of the West, to get the right look for Mallika in this film. Robert has worked on films such as Vanilla Sky, Pulp fiction, Spy Kids and Evil Dead. The kind of make-up used is MUFX (prosthetic make-up) technology. Two make-up artists have been working on Mallika’s look and the material she wears is so slimy that at times it just sticks to the skin. At times, it becomes difficult for Mallika to move with that makeup and she has to be carried to the sets.
