Lisa Haydon's older sister Malika will make her movie debut with an item song in Agent Vinod. Called I'll Do The Talking, the song is shot in a nightclub in Russia. Music composer Pritam claims that they'd bought the rights to Boney M's Rasputin song for this number. 

Malika, 27, had appeared in a Pepsi commercial along with cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne seven years ago when she was just 19.

Saif's business partner Dinesh Vijan says the reason they chose Malika for the number was because they wanted a fresh face who could hold the song together. Malika has an international face and an Indian attitude, and so fit the bill completely.
