Mallika may have won people's hearts with 'Murder' but it certainly hasn't won her many friends in the industry. Ashmit Patel, who co-stared Sherawat in her sleazy thriller makes no bones about revealing his differences with the actress.

"Mallika has this strategy of blowing her own trumpet," he exclaims.

"She makes statements to the media that invariably become headlines. She projects herself as the only able actor in every film she does. Even though she has very little role to play in ensuring a film's success, Mallika pretends she is the only reason why a film does or doesn't do well at the box office," adds Ashmit.

Now that's what we call, Murder of a perfect plan.
