Actor Mallika Sherawat, who was last seen in Tamil film Dasavatharam alongside Kamal Haasan, is making a comeback to the industry after a decade with upcoming thriller Pambattam.
Via a poster, the makers confirmed that Mallika is on board to essay a crucial role. The film stars Jeevan in the lead role.
In a Times of India report, director Vadivudaiyan said: “I met Mallika a week ago in Mumbai with the script. When she heard the narration, she immediately agreed to come on board. She had taken a break for a few years and was telling me that she was keen to do a film only if it offered her enough scope to perform. And this one will give her just that – she plays a modern-day queen and her character travels throughout the script.”
