After much deliberation, Rohan Sippy has zeroed down on the actress he wants to play a junkie in the film ‘Dum Maro Dum’. Contrary to the rumours, it’s not Kangana Ranaut but Bipasha Basu.
According to Rohan, Bipasha has the pizzazz and oomph to carry off the role of a junkie in Goa. And though the movie’s title reminds one of the song ‘Dum Maro Dum’ from Dev Anand’s movie ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’, Sippy says the similarities end there only. He also clarifies that Bipasha’s character is not modelled on that of Zeenat Aman who played a junkie in the 1971 film.
Set to hit the floors in two weeks, ‘Dum Maro Dum’ will have Bipasha pairing with Telugu star Rana Daggubati. Abhishek Bachchan plays the lead role and the supporting cast comprises of Pratik and Aditya Pancholi.
Kangana Ranaut apparently did not sign the film because she didn’t want to work with her ex boyfriend Aditya Pancholi.
