Even being bold has its limits. And for the sultry Bipasha Basu the line seems to be Ranbir Kapoor. The actress who has many steamy seductive scenes to her name starting from Jism to the recent Race, has refused to perform a 'Mrs Robinson' inspired seduction scene with the young actor, reports Mumbai Mirror.
Bachna Ae Haseeno is said to be inspired by The Graduate directed by Mark Nichols and Alfie directed by Charles Shyer. And in both of these films we have had steamy older women seducing younger boys. Bipasha plays Radhika in Bachna... a girl who is bold enough to go that extra mile in passion. She thus was supposed to don the combined hat of Anne Bancroft (The Graduate) and Susan Sarandon (Alfie) and play the sexy seductress.
According to a source, "Bipasha was not told about the scene when she'd signed the film. She thought it was not a part of the original script and there was no real necessity to go ahead with it."
Though the director Siddharth Anand tried to argue with Bips on that one, the actress refused to give in and finally the scene was not shot. Though initially Anand did feel bad, he soon calmed down and brushed aside the issue.
"Both Anand and YRF thought that more family audience will watch the film if the seduction scene was not there", added the source. Siddharth Anand tried to elude the question when contacted, by simply saying, "There is no such scene in Bachna... It's a family film." And Bips too did not wish to talk about it. She simply said, "Well, I don't wish to clarify or justify anything. If
there's a story, which I'd like to talk about, I will do so. But this is not one of those stories."
Looks like the matter has been really hushed down. Well, with or without a seduction scene, we hope the movie does work magic for YRF after the two early disasters this year.
