Mallika has a sher in her name but she spits like a wounded naagin at any suggestion that her ambitious film, Hisss has not done well. The much-hyped film had fared miserably at the box office last year. But Mallika still continues to defend it. Ask Mallika why she feels the film failed to catch the fancy of the audience and she spits fire: “How do you know that it has failed? Have you seen the results? If you want, I can email you the figures — Hisss hasn’t lost any money. You cannot call this film a failure.”
