Bollywood beauty Mallika Sherawat has been heard raving about American filmmaker Oliver Stone recently.
The actress shared the stage with him at the Global Brand Forum 2008 held in Malaysia, and since then she has been keen to make it clear about her praise for him.
Mallika said in a press statement: "It was a huge surprise for me to be invited to the global forum along with Oliver Stone. And to share the same stage with someone who's made great films like 'JFK' and 'Platoon' - all I can say is wow."
The actress, feels as though she has something in common with Stone, as last week she was invited to speak about the challenges and opportunities facing the movie business, in addition to the impact of Indian films in brands and business.
"I guess for better or for worse both of us have our own brands. And as Oliver says - people either love or hate his films. I feel it's the same for me.
"On one hand young people have embraced me, on the other hand there are lots of people in the country, film industry and in advertising, who think I'm too controversial and radical for their liking." she added.
