May 15, 2009, (Sawf News) - Split Image Pictures have released a second trailer for Jennifer Lynch directed thriller Hisss starring Mallika Sherawat, Irrfan Khan and Jeff Douchette.

We were rather disappointed with the first trailer but this one is a lot more promising.

The film is a whole new take on the ancient Indian myth of a vengeful Naagin (Female cobra). The subject has been handled in Indian films before but never with the combination of SFX and skills of a master technician like Robert Kurtzman.

Hisss makes a radical and intriguing departure from past Naagin films by having the snake woman turn into a human sized hooded cobra instead of a normal sized cobra, making the transformation physically more realistic.

Briefly, here is the story line: When George States (Jeff Douchette), a ruthless American, travels to the jungles of India and captures the mate of a Naagin who has been a legend for 4,000 years, she transforms into a stunningly attractive woman (Mallika Sherawat) with absolutely no clue about contemporary civilization or the ways of mankind, and ventures into the city in desperate search for her lover, with vengeance on her mind and venom in her fangs.

What follows is a chase at breakneck speed, with horrifying deaths, narrow escapes and special effects never seen before in India, as Vikram Gupta's (Irrfan Khan) Clarice Starling chases down a beautiful sexy killer more dangerous, powerful and terrifying than Hannibal Lecter.

This is India's Werewolf, Vampire, and Hannibal the Cannibal, who has an axe to grind with the villainous human race who has dared to desecrate her environment and capture her mate... The film is an interesting amalgamation of top technicians of the west and the superstars of Bollywood industry.

The film was shot in Hindi and English simultaneously.
