Bips backs off from item number

Abbas Mastan was all set to shoot an item number for the promotion of his movie "Race", when Bong bombshell Bipasha Basu put her foot down. The promotional song was supposed to feature Bipasha, Sameera Reddy and Katrina Kaif. But Bipasha made it clear that it would be either only her or the other two in the song.

Now, whether the reason for refusal to do the song was Bipasha's willingness to do the performance solo or her unwillingness to perform with "Musafir" girl Sameera, is still not clear. Sameera was almost ready for the shot when the director duo informed her about Bipasha's stance. She was quick to understand and vanished from the sets only to return when Bipasha had left.

But wouldn't it be nice if Bips babe understood the director's dilemma? After all, featuring a number of Bollywood beauties in a single song is a recent trend started by Sajid Khan, the director of "Heyy Baby". He employed 14 actresses for his promotional item song, the video of which has broken all records on "youtube.com".
