Mallika Sherawat as Radhe Maa in Film? Producer Says Yes, She Says No

Mallika Sherawat as Radhe Maa in Film? Producer Says Yes, She Says No

Ranjeet Sharma said that he has cast Mallika Sherawat as Radhe Maa in biopic.

New Delhi: Controversial 'godwoman' Radhe Maa is generating reams of headlines and, in a natural progression of sorts, a Bollywood producer reportedly wants to make a film about her. Ranjeet Sharma, the same filmmaker who is producing a film about Salman Khan's 72 hours in a Jodhpur jail in 2006, told Zoom that he has cast actress Mallika Sherawat in the lead in a planned biopic of the colourful and newsworthy Radhe Maa.

Except that Mallika herself says she isn't playing the self-proclaimed godwoman. In several tweets a few days ago, the 38-year-old actress vehemently denied she had signed to be the screen version of Radhe Maa:
 
 

Radhe Maa, dressed in red and gold bridal finery with a flower behind her ear and a trident in her hand, has prompted equal parts outrage and amusement on social media after pictures of her in a red miniskirt surfaced last week. A series of damaging revelations have since followed, including allegations of dowry harassment and of driving a family to suicide for failing to improve their lot as promised. A lawyer in Mumbai has petitioned the Bombay High Court to file an FIR against Radhe Maa, real name Sukhvinder Kaur and believed to be 50-years-old. A Mumbai court has refused her anticipatory bail.

A Firstpost report says that Bigg Boss alumni Dolly Bindra and Rahul Mahajan have been approached for roles in the film.

Rahul Mahajan is the man who first tweeted the picture of mini-skirted Radhe Maa. This was his response to her applying for anticipatory bail:
 

Former devotee Dolly Bindra, who alleges that Radhe Maa and her associates are a threat to her and her family, has disowned the godwoman on Twitter:

The rest of Bollywood, at least partly, is divided for and against Radhe Maa with filmmaker Subhash Ghai writing a Facebook post in support of her and the outspoken Rishi Kapoor putting out these tweets:
