The sexy actress had parted ways with the Bhatt camp after Murder became a big hit, over remuneration fees for the next project.
When she arrived at the venue, she seemed to outshine other Bhatt heroines like Kangana Ranaut and Shamita Shetty.
All eyes were glued to Mallika, who posed with her Murder costar Emraan Hashmi, and her mentor, Mahesh Bhatt.
Will Mallika be seen next in a Mahesh Bhatt film? Time will tell.
