Mallika sang, "Munni bhi maani aur Sheila bhi maani, Shalu ke thumke ki duniya deewani. "
Apparently the 'Munni' and 'Sheila' choreographer was approached to do Mallika's Shalu ke thumke. But Farah Khan begged off saying she only choreographs for very close family friends
According to a source the lyrics were originally quite different for the song. "By openly singing that she's better than 'Munni' and 'Sheila' Mallika is sending out a clear signal to the entertainment industry.
It was Mallika who wanted the Munni-Sheila element incorporated into the song. Composer Anand Raj Anand modified the tune accordingly.
Mallika wants to position herself as the no. 1 item queen of Bollywood. She feels her Maiyya maiyya in Guru came long before My name is Sheila and Munni badnaam. This year she has already performed two item songs. And is open to more. "
What's more the image of the tantrum queen is now a thing of the past. While shooting for Munni bhi maani Sheila bhi maani, Mallika was the epitome of good behaviour.
