Bollywood film Welcome, which was released on Friday in Pakistan has run into trouble in Pakistan because of some allegedly obscene scenes featuring Mallika Sherawat. Pakistan 's censor board has now reportedly objected to some shots featuring Sherawat, who is no stranger to controversy. 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. Interestingly, Sherawat, the queen of item numbers, has for the first time in her career been shot aesthetically and does not look vulgar. In fact, some cinemagoers contend that Pakistani actresses are more vulgar than Sherawat.
