Not only is Aishwarya Rai a world beauty, she is also one of the most proficient dancers and actors of Bollywood. Her acting is improving in every film she does and it is said her dancing in 'Guru' has put Mallika's in the shade. Both Aishwarya Rai and Mallika Sherawat are acting in 'Guru' directed by Mani Ratnam. The dance is choreographed by dance master Brinda.

Brinda has given Mallika some really tough moves in the song "Maiyya maiyya." The tune is Arabic in style and Mallika came to Chennai for 2 days to rehearse with Brinda.It took 3 days to shoot this song picturisation.

Speaking about it, Brinda says, "Mallika Sherawat is very talented and has a good heart too. She has done a fantastic job of the tough dance movements in 'Guru.' But when compared to Aishwarya, Mallika comes second place. Even in small movements, Aishwarya is brilliant."
