Working with the actress in her upcoming item song Dhishkyon, choreographer Brinda (of Robot fame) felt that the then-newcomer has come a long way.
Brinda recounts, `I worked with Mallika for her Maiya Maiya song (Guru). It was tough as she was not trained in that particular dance form.`
Speaking about the actress' performance on this track, the choreographer says, `We had to finish the song in two days. It was an outdoor shoot but Mallika rehearsed only for two hours and got all her steps correct.`
