Mallika Sherawat

Embellished in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth jewellery, actress Mallika Sherawat is all set to dazzle at the Cannes film festival as the 'Exotic Princess from India'.

"I will be in Cannes to promote the Jackie Chan flick The Myth , where I enact the role of a princess from India who is rescued and later turns into Chan's love interest," said Sherawat. "I am very excited and nervous," said Sherawat who will be making her maiden appearance at the festival. "From Haryana to Cannes it has been a wonderful journey", said Sherawat. "I had never dreamt of being at Cannes. In fact, when Jackie Chan told me that I had the potential to act in an international project, I found it difficult to believe," she said. "But Jackie Chan has put his money where his mouth is and now I am confident that I have it in me. Jackie does not need to promote himself, he is a known figure but I feel so elated that he is doing it for me," she said. On the image that she would be portraying, she said "my main focus would be promoting the film and hence I will try to portray the look of an Indian princess."

"The image is going to be classy, elegant, Indian, and yes of course very sexy. I will present myself as the desi exotica," she said adding the packaging there would be different from the one she presents at home.
