Why Bipasha refused film with Emraan?

Bipasha Basu was approached for doing Parvin Babi's role in forthcoming ‘Woh Lamhe' which focuses Parvin's alleged relationship with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. However Bipasha turned down the offer and newcomer Kangana Ranaut stepped into her shoes.

As per Bipasha, she refused the film because of actor Emraan Hashmi, who was supposed to play opposite her. Though, later Emraan too backed out of the film because he felt that he does not have a very strong role in the film. And Shiney Ahuja got roped in.
In a recent interview Bipasha said, it's not a kiss-phobia or anything like that, which scared her to pair up with kiss king Emraan. “I am way too tall and big for him and it wouldn't look slick,” said Bipasha. “Emraan is great at his work. I know him from the days he was an assistant director. My only problem is his physicality, so far, he has worked with petite heroines; I am way too tall and big for him,” said Bipasha.

Bollywood chick flick's got Rekha singing

Bollywood has offered several women-oriented hard-hitting films and maybe it is time for a change.

Watch out, for an Indian chick flick, Kudiyon Ka Hai Zamana, is heading your way.

On Thursday evening, all the ladies got together for the music launch of the film, with some serious female bonding between co-stars Rekha, Mahima Chaudhry, Kim Sharma and Vasundhra Das was clearly visible.

Apart from the excitement of the music release of their first film, debutant director Amar Butala and new music director Iqbal Darbar seemed thrilled about something else as well.

Ravishing Rekha has not just acted in the film but has also lent her voice to a song, but as expected, the task of getting her to sing was not a piece of cake.

"First asked her to just hum, then just two lines and then the whole song. That's how it works with Rekha ji," said the Director of the film, Amar Butala.

But for the film's lead actor Ashmit Patel who considers himself lucky to have been surrounded by four gorgeous women, Rekha's song made him feel a little jealous.

“Why was she not singing in my arms?” complained Patel.

Meanwhile, Mahima Chaudhary, who has been away on a vacation for a while now, will be seen back in action in this film.

When asked about her changed, or rather healthy look, she was more than proud.

"I have always been proud of my curves and I am happy with it," she declared.
