Bipasha goes Bold for Raaz 3

Leave it to Bollywood diva Bipasha Basu to dare to go where very few have –While her recent risqué Raaz 3 poster seems to have raised several eyebrows, the actress who shot for the bold campaign minus a body double unapologetically decided to go all out for the poster that has caught everyone’s attention. 

Insiders reveal that despite having a bold subject, the producers had their reservations about approaching Bipasha for the shoot given its controversial nature and has considered using a body double and later morphing the actress’ face onto the model’s body .However, Bipasha insisted on shooting for it herself ,impressing the entire unit with her professionalism. 

Confirms Bipasha Basu “When I learnt about the concept, I decided to do it. I had no qualms. It’s my movie and I should be shooting for the poster. I understand that it was required to show the film’s theme in the right light. I have always been comfortable in my skin and never been conscious of my body. It was the right decision.”

Additionally audiences won’t have to wait too long as the promo of Vikram Bhatt’s 3D horror film ,presented by Fox Star Studios and produced by Vishesh Films , starring Bipasha Basu,Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta is scheduled to air alongside Jism 2 on August 3rd.

Kangna-Deepika comparisonshound newcomer Bidita Bag!

Having modeled for many successful brands and campaigns, spunk-chickBidita Bag, who is all set to make her Bollywood debut this week with the comedyFrom Sydney With Love, is in a quandary. 
The reason: This Bong beauty is continuously being comparedto more established heroines namely Kangna Ranaut and Deepika Padukone. Infact, she has been getting a lot of film offers that have gone to Kangnaearlier. 
“It’s amusing how some filmmakers have been thinking of meas some kind of replacement to Kangna Ranaut,” she happily giggles. “I’ve beenoffered at least half-a-dozen movies by makers who say I fit the bill for a‘Kangana-type-of-role’ – whatever that means!” 
As if this isn’t enough, some makers tell Bidita, she looks andeven sounds like Deepika Padukone; so much so that if she would dub for Deepika,no one might come to know – another comparison that the debutante has to livewith, at least for now. 
And while the girl takes these links with a pinch of salt, Biditadoes assert that she wishes to “carve a completely original identity” forherself, even if she agrees to a Deepika or Kangna-kind-of-role. Lol. Lookingat her performance in the promos of From Sydney With Love, we do believe thatthe actress is versatile. 
For the record, her movie’s release will clash with noneother than Jism 2; the debut vehicle of international porn sensation SunnyLeone. But Bidita smiles and shrugs it off. “I don’t fear Sunny Leone. Apartfrom my looks and acting capabilities, I have inner beauty,” she remarks withconfidence. 
When compared to the mass appeal Sunny’s cleavage carries,Bidita reacts, “A little bit of concealing is any day more erotic than showingeverything, isn’t it?”

Sambhavna Seth upstages Rakhi Sawant in Tollywood!

In Bollywood, Rakhi Sawant and Sambhavna Seth are bothfirebrands in their own way. But when it comes to the Bengali film industryTollywood, the spice queens are engaged in a new war or sorts. 
Some time ago, Rakhi went to town over performing an itemnumber in an upcoming Bengali film. But as per the latest reports, now spunkySambhavna has gone ahead and done a catchy Bong song in a Tollywood flickcalled Gundairaj. 
What's more! The makers of Sam's movie are planning to beatRakhi's number by releasing their film before the other. Moreover, the girlshave a history of fighting with each other. 
It can be recalled how Rakhi had lambasted Sambhavna duringBigg Boss and even ousted her from the dance show Zara Nachke Dikha; withrumours that she had asked its makers to drop Sam if they wanted Rakhi on theshow. 
Sambhavna was indeed dropped. Nevertheless, she moved on toparticipate in its competing show Dancing Queen and even won it. 
All this makes us wonder, if the makers of Jhalak Dikhhla Jamissed out on this whole Rakhi-Sambhavna war. After all, the babes could havemade perfect competition and brought greater dramatic value to their show thisyear.
