Mallika's bikini scene chopped

After the buzz Mallika generated about donning a two-piece and finally settling for a bikini top with a sarong, it was much ado about nothing, as Mallika Sherawat's bikini look has now been removed from Double Dhamaal. And not surprisingly the actress is miffed about the whole thing. 

A source informs us, "When Mallika saw that her bikini sequence was edited from the film, she confronted the director Indra Kumar and producer Ashok Thakeria. 

Apparently, the Double Dhamaal makers didn't want family audiences to be offended by the sight of Sherawat in a bikini." 

But producer Ashok Thakeria clarifies, "We haven't entirely removed Mallika's bikini scene. But we've voluntarily diluted it. Earlier it was an elaborate bathing sequence. But, now it is just a passing shot." 

"We didn't want to offend the family audience and their sensibilities. We don't want Double Dhamaal to be considered a sex comedy. Double Dhamaal is a clean fun family comedy," explains Thakeria. 

On the point of Mallika being offended, Thakeria plays down the incident saying, "Oh she'll be fine. She leaves with us for an award function in Canada this week, where she will perform her item song from our film. That should make her happy."
