Mallika Sherawat is the sexiest, says Jacqueline Fernandez

Actress Jacqueline Fernandez knows that there are bound to be comparisons between her and actor Mallika Sherawat. Firstly, because she is replacing her in the sequel of Murder and secondly, it seems she is trying to outdo the sex siren, starting from her daring acts in the promos of the film itself. But  the actress (as her friends fondly refer to her as) says that it doesn’t make her nervous at all.

“Yes, there are bound to be comparisons between Mallika and me. That is normal. I am acting in a sequel to a movie that she has done and, of course, she has done a wonderful job. But no, that is not making me nervous,” says a confident Jacqueline.
The sequel, she insists, is totally different from the first installment in terms of treatment and storyline. “So there cannot be any comparisons,” she adds.

Murder was reportedly inspired from the Hollywood film Unfaithful with some scenes being too similar to ignore. So, is Murder 2 inspired by Hollywood too? “I don’t think so. I think Murder 2 is original. This film doesn’t take off from where the original story ends. It’s a totally different film and I think the first cut is looking great,” she says.

Didn’t Jacqueline feel uncomfortable getting cosy with her co-star Emraan Hashmi who has earned himself a reputation of being a ‘serial-kisser’? “You know, when you do those (love-making) scenes, the only thing that crosses through your mind is that you will have to get it right,” says the actress.

She adds, “With so many people prompting you and so many cameras and lights focused on you, you don’t get the opportunity to feel shy or uncomfortable at all. You are more concerned about the film and to give the camera your best.”

So, who does she think is the sexiest heroine on screen these days? “Well it has to be Mallika Sherawat. I think she’s got an amazing sensuousness about her that is just impossible to match. She is fantastically attractive too,” Jacqueline adds.
