The first promo of Mallika Sherawat's latest item number, Laila, in the upcoming thriller Tezz hasn't exactly generated excitement among the fans. Could that be the reason why Mallika chose to skip the music launch of the film? The buzz doing the rounds suggests that Mallika is miffed with Tezz director Priyadarshan because the item number isn't looking sexy enough.

Come on Mallika, if you have failed to turn up the heat with Laila, you can't really blame the film's makers, can you? On record, Mallika has indicated that she couldn't attend the Tezz music launch owing to 'prior commitments'. Considering she hardly has much to do in Bollywood these days, we wonder what commitments she was talking of.
