Bollywood hottie Mallika Sherawat recently bagged the coveted and talked about item number in the film "Tezz" in which she will groove to the foot tapping number in the film. The actress who had recently flown down to New York was asked to comeback to shoot for an item song. But the actress was compelled to make a tough decision as she her schedule was jam-packed.

The date for her shooting of the item number clashed with the date when the renowned Oscar awards are held. Mallika who had attended the ceremony last year (courtesy her impeccable networking)   was expected to be invited this year as well. But the committed Mallika revealed this to her contacts there that she wouldn’t be available on the day the Oscars will be held as she at that time will be busy shooting for the item number in "Tezz".

The reason behind this exceptional decision is the fact that not only Mallika had locked her dates for the item number well in advance but also coz she didn’t intend to cause unnecessary trouble for producer Ratan Jain who had stood besides her during the lows of her career recently.
