 Due to Mallika Sherawat (qv)s racy image in Bollywood, rumors  circulated that she landed the role over many other Indian actresses  (Aishwarya Rai (qv), Lara Dutta (qv), Priyanka Chopra (qv))  because she was willing to do full frontal nudity in this film. When  these rumors were spread, Stanley Tong (qv) and  Jackie Chan (I) (qv) held a special press conference in India to  say that they picked Mallika over many others because of her great  charm and genuine acting talent, and that the film didnt even have  a kissing scene, let alone full frontal nudity.
