Bipasha and Katrina’s cold war


It is a known fact that Salman Khan and John Abraham do not get along. But it is surprising to see that things are not so rosy between their lady-loves either. It is believed that Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu who will be seen in Abbas Mastan’s forthcoming film Race didn’t even acknowledge each other on the sets of Race.

As Race is a highly stylized film, it is believed that to avoid problems on the sets, director Abbas Mastan made it clear to the actors that their look and costumes will be designed according to their scenes. This nipped any tiffs in the bud. While Sameera Reddy used to get along with everyone, Bipasha and Katrina were never seen talking to each other on the sets. Knowing the rivalry between Bipasha and Katrina, directors Abbas Mustan would shoot their scenes separately. And thankfully the two had minimal scenes together.

But just when the directors were heaving a sigh of relief with the film being complete and all set to release, there seems to be a new problem. Bipasha and Katrina have refused to promote the film together. Come to think of it, Bipasha avoided being on the sets of Chotey Ustad and a music reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa on Zee when Katrina was present with the other stars of the film. Bipasha teamed up for a solo couple entry with her co-star Saif for the MTV Hero Honda Roadies promotional event of Race .

Knowing this fact and the cold war between the two actresses, the producers and directors have intentionally planned separate promotional dates for Bipasha and Katrina.

What needs to be seen is that will Yash Raj Films have to adhere to such practices as well, considering the two ladies will be working together in their next project opposite Ranbir Kapoor to be directed by Siddharth Anand.
