Series of flops are mounting up for Mallika Sherawat but her list of new films is not getting affected at all...at least for the moment.

Even after her Shaadi Se Pehle debacle the Jat girl has been roped in a plum hollywood remake project by producer Ravi Walia.

According to buzz, the film is inspired by the 1980-Howard Zieff directed comedy titled ‘Private Benjamin', which had Goldie Hwan in the lead role.

Aptly titled Fauj Mein Mauj, the film will be dircted by debutant director Murli Nagavalli, who has been an assistant to Priyadarshan and is now starting on his own.

When quizzed about being inspired by ‘Private Benjamin', Nagavalli said, "It has been changed to suit the Indian audiences. The film is a comedy along the lines of the Police Academy series, but set in the army. It's a story of what happens when a sexy young woman joins the army."

However he asserted, "I'm not making fun of anyone, but just making a humorous film. It's a fictional story."

On his choice of Mallika to replay Goldie Hawn's character, he said, "We needed a woman with a sex-symbol image, who had some spunk and spice about her. And Mallika is the right person to play this role."

The other star cast in the film is Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav.

Private Benjamin' is all about a sheltered high society young woman who, on a whim, decides to join the army when her husband dies on their wedding night. She finds herself in a more difficult situation than she ever expected when her superior makes sexual advances.

For thwarting his advances, she's transferred to the NATO headquarters in Europe where she once again meets the Frenchman Henri, played by Armand Assante and the story moves further towards the climax.
