that she landed the role over many other Indian actresses (Aishwarya
Rai, Lara Dutta, Priyanka Chopra) because she was willing to do
full frontal nudity in this film. When these rumors were spread,
Stanley Tong and Jackie Chan 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 didn't
even have a kissing scene, let alone full frontal nudity.
Aishwarya Rai was the original choice to play the Indian princess
but she was on tour at the time and her busy schedule didn't allow
her to take the role.
Jackie Chan was stabbed in the arm while filming a stunt.
Jackie Chan fell off a horse and couldn't move his legs for the
