Sex bomb Mallika sherwat told to pay back

Mallika Sherawat may have been grabbing eyeballs in Cannes, but a recent ruling by Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) wont please the bombshell much.

In the ruling, Mallika is told to pay back half the signing amount of the shelved movie Masquerade that was to be directed by Kundan Shah.

The movie had run into trouble after Mallika had walked out of the project after a tiff with the director and the crew. In turn, the films producers, Studio 18, had filed a case against Mallika with IMPPA, demanding the return of the signing amount of Rs 25 lakh that was paid to the actress.

The case trudged on for two years, but in May, Mallika lost the case. She was sent a notice to return half (not full) of the signing amount back to Studio 18.

But madam M is in the US for the post production of her film Hissss which seems to be taking eternity to release.
