Yes, you heard it right. Unlike other celebrities who won't ever miss out any opportunity to strip down to bare nothing or do bold scenes, which can help them steal the spotlight sans any efforts, Bipasha Basu has declared that she has no intention of doing any of these! The sexy, sultry siren, who will be seen in Vikram Bhatt’s horror flick, “Raaz 3” and is set to scorch the screen all over again, hasn’t given her nod to be part of the movie’s bold promotional campaign!
But why would she have any qualms? Hasn’t she ever flaunted her killer curves in sexy and revealing outfits and done bold/intimate scenes? Yes, she has! Hasn’t she ever gone topless and been part of racy photo shoots? Yes, she has! So why the abstinence? While many would think she is acting pricey, what’s more shocking is Bipasha’s take on doing bold scenes!
Going by what an insider told a daily recently, the actor turned down the offer because she didn’t want to be part of cheap things! So what if the makers think doing bold promotional campaigns for the film can help them cut through the clutter and get noticed, Bips is not interested in giving her nod! Looks like the actor doesn’t want to continue with what she has done in the past!
A source has been quoted as saying, “Director Vikram Bhatt, as well as the producers of the film, had planned for a bold promotional campaign for the film. The campaign required Bipasha to shoot for some extremely bold pictures. But when Bips heard of it, she apparently put her foot down and refused to be a part of it. She had apparently said that she is not going to do any of those cheap things. So, now the producers are left with no solution, but to look out for a body double to shoot for the campaign. It’s adding to the pressure of meeting the deadline as well. ”
An insider said, “Yes, Vikram is searching for someone, who will be used as the body double for Bipasha to pose for the bold pictures.” The insider added, “Yes, Bipasha backed out saying that she is too legendary to do low- brow things anymore. So now, the producers are left with no option but to look for an alternative.” If one recalls, Bipasha caught everyone’s eye after doing bold scenes in “Jism”. When contacted about the bold promotional campaign, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt had told a daily, “We haven’t started any promotional things as yet, so I don’t know what you are talking about.” After repeated attempts to contact the actor, there was no response till the time of going to press.
Looks like the actor can’t shake off the strings of controversies that dog her. The actor got embroiled in a controversy when the rumours of the rift between her and the Bhatt camp started doing the rounds! She was also in news when she didn’t show any interest in working with Emraan Hashmi and her much discussed split with John Abraham! Bips, we hope you aren’t doing this for publicity!
