No matter how much you tease Mallika Sherwat by saying 'hissss'(the sound which induces you to pee), the fact is Mallika Sherwat will not be able to go to the toilet for 10 hours. Why? Well, look the costume and you will get a fair(or rather creepy) idea.
Mallika Sherwat is doing a film called Hisss, in which she will be playing the role of a woman who is transformed into a snake. It takes 4 to 5 hours everyday to Mallika Sherwat to get into the get- up for Hissss. The make up and costumes used is prosthetic one, called MUFX. This costume technology is an award winning one and has been seen in the likes of movies like Star Trek, The Hulk and Lord of The Rings. These costumes and suits are not really uncomfortable, according to producer Govind Menon, but all said and done, Mallika Sherwat's bodily functions will be affected, so much that she will not be able to go the toilet for 10 hours. She will not be able to drink water, forget water. Also the snake suit has restrained Mallika's natural movement and she can only crawl like a snake! Mallika has to be carried to and from the sets everytime she gives a shot. Every part of her body is concealed(quite unlike Mallika!) and she has to wear huge contact lens which cover the whites of her eyes. Mallika Sherwat has to remove those contact lens every half hour so that her eyes can get air.
Mallika Sherwat, who is known to be one of the most professional actors around has been a complete sport and is unfazed by such things, and wants to give 100 percent in her job. You may have heard the phrase 'I am so busy I can hardly go to the bathroom' . In Mallika' s case, it is damn true.
