"Mallika Sherawat is to play a village girl who ends up competing in the Olympics. The actress will be appearing with Sonu Sood in the drama Lucky Unlucky. She told the Hindustan Times: &amp;quot;Having been born in an old-fashioned, patriarchal family where a woman&amp;#039;s role is confined to household chores, it&amp;#039;s heartwarming to see these female athletes stepping out of their homes and shaping their destinies. &amp;quot;Many women in my home state have been inspired by my success story and I hope Lucky Unlucky will inspire many more to come out and change the rules.&amp;quot; Sherawat has previously said that playing a character from her home state Haryana &amp;quot;means a lot&amp;quot; to her. The North Indian state produced three of the athletes who won medals at the London 2012 games. Sood added: &amp;quot;Lucky is a bindaas girl who is fearless in the way she speaks. I&amp;#039;ve read Mallika&amp;#039;s interviews in which she came across as frank, which is how I thought of her for this story that unfolds in the course of one day.&amp;quot; The actress has also committed to Sanjay Khanduri&amp;#039;s Kismat, Love, Paisa, Dilli since returning from the states after a series of flops.
