New Delhi, Aug 30 - Mallika Sherawat has been grabbing eyeballs with footage of her body-hugging costumes as a snakewoman in Jennifer Lynch's 'Hisss', but her co-star Irrfan Khan is unperturbed and says she cannot overshadow him in the movie.
'Mallika can't steal my limelight - never - let her do whatever she does. That's her game. That is not my game. I entertain people. I be myself, do my work in a way that I enjoy and connect with my audience so that they remember my work for at least two years,' Irrfan told IANS. He was here Saturday for the launch of the seventh season of MTV's adventure reality show 'Roadies'.
Speaking more about 'Hisss', the actor said: 'It's a different kind of action adventure film - a very nice take on a story everyone has seen - 'Naagin'. But through that story, the writer and director have incorporated the elements of how we as human beings call ourselves advanced and evolved, but actually we have made ourselves blind to nature.
'We have become just a consumer of nature and are only concerned about extracting things for our use, and in the process we are creating a huge crisis. On the surface, it's just an action sort of a film with lots of nudity and sex and Mallika plays a snakewoman.'
Irrfan, who played the inspector in Danny Boyle's multiple Oscar winning movie 'Slumdog Millionaire', said it would be unfair to reveal his part as it will spoil the essence of the film.
