Buzz is that Mallika Sherawat has replaced Vidya Balan in Dhamaal 2.

The Paa and Ishqiya star asked for an astronomical amount which director Indra Kumar was willing to negotiate on but refused to go beyond a certain amount.

In the end, things did not work out. Madam M was then approached who took on the offer at a fee that was favourable to both.

With Mallika on board, the makers feel the comedy is now laced with oomph. And at less cost!
