The empress of oomph Mallika Sherawat got cold feet when it came to donning a skimpy bikini for director Indra Kumar’s comedy film Double Dhamaal.
Mallika, who will be seen doing a sexy car wash scene in her upcoming American film Politics of Love, had issues wearing the bikini for the Bollywood comedy film co-starring Sanjay Dutt and a host of other male actors.
Reportedly, Mallika had a problem in baring the lower part of her body. She told the director to film the upper part of the body on her, and the lower part on a body double and then club the two shots together on the editing table.
Even on the shooting day, Indra Kumar tried to persuade her to don a bikini but to no use. Ultimately, he had to give in to Mallika’s demand and rope in a body double. But that meant that the bikini scene was canned nearly a week later, because it took time to search for a suitable body double.
However, Indra Kumar insists that the viewers will indeed get to see Mallika “in a swimsuit from head to toe”.
