Mallika Sherawat gets Rs 1.5 crore for an item song

Like it or leave it, Mallika Sherawat is the new sex bomb of the country. Now I hear whispers: what is there in that woman to command so much attention? She neither has the killer looks nor the oomph to floor with the audiences. Come on, give the lady her due. Even we are wondering what has shot her to the stratosphere in Bollywood, that she refuses to climb down. If she wants it, she gets it. Just about anything. For now, we are talking about the remuneration. Believe it or not, she has recently charged the desperately-trying-to-make-it-big-as-a-hero singer Himesh Reshamiiya...Rs...don't fall down after I say it...Rs one crore fifty lakhs for his film Aap Kaa Surroor. Can you beat that? Even the likes of Aishwarya Rai and Preeti Zinta don't get that kind of money for an item song. All this for an item song? Baap re? What else do you think Ms Sherawat is worth? Reshammiya has bought the rights of the song. Sources in the industry attribute the phenomal surge in her remuneration to her signing the Hollywood flick Unveiled.
