Says a source, “Indra Kumar's first impulse was to say no. He had the combined dates of all the busy stars and they were shooting in a huge bungalow in Karjat that was supposed to represent Macau. There was no way he could let Mallika go. But Anees and Akshay were adamant. They left the goodnatured Indu with no choice.'
Apparently Indra Kumar had to fudge Mallika's shots in the group scenes pretending about her presence when in fact she was at a different venue shaking her booty with Akshay Kumar to the song Razia goondon mein phans gayi. The song was apparently called Sheila gundon mein phans gayi. But Akshay Kumar who had lately done a spectacular Sheila number with Katrina Kaif in Tees Maar Khan put his dancing foot down. So Razia it was.
Coincidentally during the shooting of the reality show Chak Dhoom Dhoom Mallika's shots had to be fudged. According to channel sources when Mallika walked out in a huff for being served a working-lunch her shots had to be faked in the first two episode of the dance show before Urmila Matondkar takes over.
Director Indra Kumar of Double Damaal denies he had to use a body double when Mallika was 'lent' to Anees Bazmi. Says the mild-manners movie-maker, “No, we didn't use a body double. But I had to adjust her shots in the group scenes so she could be away for five days.
