May 18, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Aishwarya Rai is easily one of the most talented and beautiful actresses in the world. She has been voted so far too many times to be counted. Bipasha Basu may not be a global face yet, but she is competent enough. So what exactly happens when you put these two beautiful ladies in the most awaited movie of the year Raavan? Catfight? Ego clashes? Feeling of insecurity? Everyone knows the drill!
Rumour has it that Aishwariya Rai and Priya Mani, who are both an integral part of the movie, were threatened by Bipasha, who plays the role of ‘Mandodhari‘ in the film, and so most of her part in the movie has been edited. The official reason given was that her role had taken up most of the space in the movie. The Bong Bombshell, obviously ‘saddened’ by the sudden move, remains an optimist and maintains that she is still excited for the release of the movie.
The movie directed by the ingenius Mani Ratnam, under his production house Madras Talkies, also stars AB’s Baby Abhishek Bachchan, Kollywood actor Vikram, Govinda a.k.a Chi Chi, Ajay Gehi, Tejaswani Kolhapure and Suhasini Mani Ratnam.
