Producer Vashu Bhagnani is so miffed with Bipasha Basu, one of the female leads in his new film Humshakals, that he has decided not to work with her again.
Directed by Sajid Khan, Humshakals, which also features Riteish Deshmukh, Saif Ali Khan, Ram Kapoor, Esha Gupta and Tammannaah Bhatia, is out in UAE theatres now.
“I will not work with Bipasha in future. I should not give such a statement, but I would try not to work with her,” Bhagnani said in Mumbai on Thursday at the film’s screening.
Basu, who has been missing from all the promotional events of the film, said she was dissatisfied with the end result of her role in Humshakals.
Bhagnani says Basu was never misled about her role. “I asked Sajid to cast Bipasha. She is a lovely lady. But I don’t know what her problem is. After watching the film, she can’t say that her role is smaller. At the time of signing the film, I gave her the remuneration. It’s not like we promised her something else and have done otherwise,” he said.
