Mallika has done it again. The Jat girl raised all the hoopla about her topless scenes with Jackie Chan in his latest kung-fu caper The Myth and like always the steamy episode has turned out to be a dud.

During her promotional tours Mallika insisted that she has done all the stunts herself but if you'd believe Sudhanshu Pandey, who acted in the film as well, the woman in this scene is not Mallika but a gymnast from China.

Says the former member of Band of Boys, "A body double was hired to do Mallika's action sequence as it required a lot of flexibility."

However, Stanley Tong, the film's director, denies the charge and insists that Mallika has performed the scene herself."

"We used the skin-coloured tights in the scene where Mallika goes topless for a moment and there was no body double. Sherawat performed the scenes herself, but yes, she did use skin-coloured tights for one of the shots."

Mallika Sherawat is out of India at the moment and was unavailable for comment.
