Mallika Sherawat's 'Double Dhaamal' bikini scene cut

Mallika Sherawat's extended bathing sequence in the upcoming comedy Double Dhaamal has been cut by its producers.

The Hisss actress is upset about the decision to shorten the scenes, The Times of India claims.

"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," producer Ash Thakeria told the paper.

He added: "We don't want Double Dhamaal to be considered a sex comedy. Double Dhamaal is a clean fun family comedy."

Sherawat reportedly refused to have any shots of her lower body taken for the film.

In January, she won a court case against a man who had accused her of dancing obscenely in footage broadcast on television in 2006.

Double Dhamaal will receive its premiere when it opens the International Indian Film Academy Awards in Toronto tomorrow.
