Director Indra Kumar and producer Ashok Thakeria had signed her for the project even though she had been missing from the B-Town scene after her 2008 flick Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam.
She had moved to the US and made news for the promotions of her forthcoming flick Hisss occasionally with a python wrapped around her curves.
Double Dhamaal stars Sanjay Dutt, Kangna Ranaut, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Aashish Chaudhry and Jaaved Jaafery. Mallika is paired with Dutt.
Buzz was that the actress had given her nod to Double Dhamaal without a discussion over her fee with the makers.
Apparently, she was delighted about being a part of the sequel and more importantly, working with Dutt.
