Mallika Sherawat seems to have done it again - stepped right into a controversy, that is. And this time, she is all set to raise the political tempera ture with the first-look poster of her upcoming flick, Dirty Politics. The poster shows Mallika sitting on top of an Ambassador with a beacon, outside the State Legislative Assembly of Rajasthan, hold ing a CD in her hand, and draped only in the tricolour.

Filmmaker K C Bokadia says, “Workers of a political party from Rajasthan are putting pressure on me to change the tricolour into some other scrap of fabric."
The poster is provocative, admits Bokadia, and since the film is said to be based on the Bhanwari Devi sex scandal, a political party got to know about it. And though tricolour dresses have always led to controversy for the wearer in the past, this time, Bokadia says it is not essentially an Indian flag since there is no Ashoka Chakra in the centre. “It has nothing to do with the tricolour, nor is it any political party's symbol. It is just a piece of cloth in three different colours. I am just a filmmaker using my creativity to put forth my point of view. As far as guidelines are concerned, the poster will be censored according to the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association's guidelines"
