Jigyaasa, released on 10 March 2006, was directed by Faisal Saif.[1] It was called the year's most controversial feature film, and was rumored to be based on the life of Indian sex goddess Mallika Sherawat.[2] This film marked a big change in Hrishitaa Bhatt's career, as it was her first titular role. Though Indian critics did not appreciate the film, it commanded a decent share at the box office.
Small time Marathi actress Teja Deokar played Hrishitaa Bhatt's part in the recent unofficial remake in Marathi titled Nati, which means 'Actress'.
