Bipasha’s woes in Bollywood!

She was ignored in part two of 2002 movie
“Raaz” and now she is not in the sequel of last year’s hit thriller
“Race”. But Bipasha Basu is not complaining and says it’s a tradition in
Bollywood not to repeat actresses in sequels. I heard even Abbas-Mustan
are not doing ‘Race 2′. If the original directors are not doing the
sequel, who am I? I haven’t been approached for ‘Race 2′. That’s fine,”
Bipasha.In Bollywood, the heroines are never signed for sequels. It’s a
tradition. Just check the sequels. The guys get repeated. The girls
don’t. It’s a man’s world. I don’t feel like a second citizen for that.
When ‘Raaz 2′ was made everyone kept asking why I wasn’t in it. But I
never worried about that. No point in crying about it,” she added. The
original “Raaz” starred Bipasha with Dino Morea and was directed by
Vikram Bhatt.

Part two, titled “Raaz - The Mystery
Continues”, featured Kangana Ranaut, Adhyayan Suman and Emraan Hashmi.
Directed by Mohit Suri, the horror thriller was released early this year
and did satisfactory business at the ticket window. Spurned by the
“Race” producers, Tips Films, Abbas-Mustan are planning to revive their
long-forgotten shelved project “Mr. Fraud” for Shree Ashtavinayak
Cinevision Ltd and the actress says she will be really happy if the film
sees the light of day.If ‘Mr. Fraud’ is revived, I’d be happy to give
dates. The film was shot in London and the styling was not time-bound,”
she said. Bipasha has also just signed her second comedy. Coincidentally
it reprises the “Mr. Fraud” trio - Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan and Bipasha.
“That’s right Sanjay, Ajay and I are together again in ‘All The Best’.

This is the one film I’ll enjoy doing. I had
a ball doing ‘No Entry’. Initially I had too many inhibitions about
Bollywood. ‘No Entry’ made me drop those inhibitions. I’m sure Rohit
Shetty’s ‘All The Best’ will make me more uninhibited. It’s a fun film
and I don’t have to always do roles that reflect my personality.
Sometimes it’s fun to do a fun film,” said the actress. Bipasha has
signed only one film this year.”I don’t want do any more work than my
pace allows me. I don’t want to compete with anybody. I’ve made a niche
right from my first film. I’m Bipasha Basu. I don’t think there’s any
replacement for that. I enjoy my work.

“But there so much more to my vocation as an
actor than just acting. I can do stage shows, be a businesswoman, work
for social causes. I keep busy 24×7. At this stage of my life I don’t
need to sit and pine for a role,” Bipasha said.
