Couple of days back, when Mahesh Bhatt decided to throw a party to celebrate the success of Vishesh Films and 100 weeks of Murder, he sent an SMS to Mallika to join them.

Mallika happily obliged and that was the end of three year old rivalry that started when she refused to work with the Bhatts in Zeher.

Mallika made a timely entry only around the time when Emran and Ashmit were being felicitated on stage. But Emraan, who was already on stage, stepped down the minute Sherawat stepped up.

It was Emcee Mareesha Parikh had to repeatedly request Patel and Hashmi to return to the stage to pose with Mallika — which they reluctantly did later.

Later, Hashmi also admitted that their ‘cold war' was still on, even though Mahesh Bhatt publicly acknowledged "Mallika's huge contribution in making ‘Murder' a box-office bonanza."

"Mallika and I had certain differences of opinion and I don't want to talk about them anymore. Bhatt saab told me that I should grow up and forget the incident, but I'm sorry, I can't," ha says.

"I can't give Mallika the warm welcome she thinks she deserves, because I don't have warm feelings for her. But I'm not ill-mannered. I will not misbehave with her. So I went on stage, we met each other cordially and that was it."

The relation between Mallika and the Bhatts has been sweet and sour. It began with Anurag Basu-directed movie Murder almost two years ago and soured when Mallika demanded a hefty fee for Vishesh Film's production Gangster that eventually launched Kangana Ranaut.

Though Mahesh says he had never had any fallout with Mallika but he does admit that his brother Mukesh and some members of his production house have had some differences with the actress.

"We would love to work with Mallika again. But both of us have to agree on a script. I think nothing is permanent in this industry, be it friendship or animosity," he gushes.

Now that's what you call 'Success Ke Side Effects'.
