Bipasha Refuses Seduction Scene in BAH

Bipasha Basu has done several bold scenes in her career so far. So, it came as a big surprise when she was squeamish about doing an intimate Mrs Robinson-like seduction scene with Ranbir Kapoor in Yash Raj Films' upcoming film Bachna Ae Haseeno, directed by Siddharth Anand.

Bipasha had to seduce Ranbir in the scene. Bachna Ae Haseeno is said be loosely based on The Graduate directed by Mike Nichols (1967) and Alfie directed by Charles Shyer (2004).

While Anne Bancroft seduced Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, Susan Sarandon seduced Jude Law in Alfie.

In Bachna Ae Haseeno, Bipasha plays Radhika who has no apprehensions about anything and is ready go the extra mile for passion and Ranbir plays Raj, a conqueror of hearts.

Bipasha told Siddharth that she wouldn't like to enact the seduction scene. Even though Siddharth tried to argue with Bipasha, she refused to relent. Ultimately, the scene was not shot.

A source says, "Bipasha was not totally wrong in refusing to shoot the seduction scene. She wasn't told about the scene when she had signed the film.

She thought that since it was not part of the original script, it was not really necessary to go ahead with the scene."

Initially, Siddharth was a bit upset with Bipasha getting her own way. But, he calmed down later and brushed aside the issue. "He as well as YRF thought that more family audiences will watch the film if the seduction scene wasn't in the film," adds our source.

When contacted, Siddharth simply said, "There is no such scene in Bachna Ae Haseeno. It's a family film."

Bipasha said, "Aha... Well, I don't wish to clarify or justify anything. If there is a story, which I'd like to talk about, I will do so. But this is not one of those stories."

Apart from Bipasha and Ranbir, Bachna Ae Haseeno also stars Deepika Padukone who plays Gayatri and Minissha Lamba who plays Mahi.
