The Bollywood flick "Welcome" is facing problems in Pakistan because of some allegedly "obscene" scenes which features Mallika Sherawat.
"Welcome" was released last Friday and was seen as an example of the Pakistan government's softening stance towards a long-standing ban on Bollywood Movies.
Pakistan's censor board has now reportedly objected to some shots featuring Sherawat, who is not at all a stranger to controversy.
The film's release on this side of the border came days after a Pakistan Senate standing committee on culture recommended to the government that the exhibition of Indian films should be allowed under a proper censorship policy and the long ban imposed in 1965 should be finally lifted.
Pakistan Cinema Owners' Association secretary general Safdar Khan said the censor board has handed over the censored version of the film to cinemas.
Cinema owners have been warned of strict action if they continue to show the uncensored version. Jamshed Zafar, acting chairman of the Pakistan Film Distributors Association, said the audience has rejected the film's censored version.
