Bipasha Basu was once the blue-eyed girl for the Bhatts, but her refusal to do an item number in Murder 2 somewhat soured relations between them. But now that she is back in the camp and will feature in Raaz 3, both parties are already singing praises of each other.
“Bipasha did have a conflict with the Bhatts, but she realises that they offer her a golden chance to perform and display her acting prowess as well. A decade after Raaz, her return in the third instalment of the franchise is pretty much a new innings for Bips, who’s anyway desperate for a hit now,” says a source.
“The film has everything going for it,” says a trade expert, adding, “From Emraan Hashmi to Vikram Bhatt, they are all in great form. No wonder then, that Bips is ecstatic.”
“Yes, I am very happy about reuniting with the Bhatts. Also, Vikram is a dear friend of mine. These are the people responsible for making me learn how to act and I am very close to them,” she says.”
