A local tabloid recently reported that Mallika Sherawat [Images] will star in Ram Gopal Varma's upcoming film, Contract. However, the truth is that the actress is not a part of the film -- she is just a part of some clever publicity.

• RGV: Contract is not a dark film like Satya

Apparently, Mallika only appears in a poster in the film. Her poster is hung on a mirror, where an associate of a Malaysia-based don is fantasising about her.

So if you're going to watch Contract, don't go expecting Mallika in the film. You will have to wait for Ugly Aur Pagli to catch her on screen.
