Bips tweeted on the social networking site about her Goa break and wrote, "On a break! Off to Goa with my lil sister...I love Goa! So many imp moments of my life till now are attached to Goa! N creating more! (sic)"
She also posted a couple of pictures while enjoying with her sisters - Bidisha & Bijoyeta and her darling niece Nia.
The Bhatts are getting a bit too sentimental on the return of Vikram Bhatt to their camp. So much so that they decided to start ‘Raaz 3’ on Vikram’s birthday. Vikram celebrated his birthday on Friday and the crew of the flick began the shoot on Sunday.
“Raaz 3’ is what can be termed as the ‘Horror of the hearts’. It is a completely new story, a romantic one at that, which would surprise and shock you. Yet again the legacy of Vishesh Films would continue with newcomers giving some great music to the film. I am sure it would break all records that films coming from our production house have created so far,” says Mukesh Bhatt.
Mahesh Bhatt posted some pictures from the first day of the shoot on his social networking site with related tweets. Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter has joined Vikram’s team as an assistant director. Bhatt tweeted, “My daughter Shaheen begins her journey as an assistant with Vikram Bhatt who was once my assistant!”
The film has been written by Shagufta Rafique. “It is a brave script which explores the horrors of the human heart,” Bhatt tweeted.
With Bipasha Basu insisting that her role in under-production RACE 2 is just a guest appearance that she is doing mainly for Abbas-Mustan, it has pretty much turned out to be a dampener for her fans who were expecting a much bigger part for the lady. Though the role is currently being kept under the wraps, insiders insist that it is all a part of a well designed strategy.
"It is good that Bipasha herself has spoken about the role since this pretty much dissolves all rumours surrounding her inclusion in RACE 2," says an expert, "On a lighter note, with Bipasha's screen time being bare minimum in the film, the trio of Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ameesha Patel can breathe easy because Abbas-Mustan can now be expected to concentrate better on their role and presentation."
When asked about how she would continue the character of Sonia that she played in RACE, Bipasha simply said 'no idea'. She added though that she has been assured her guest appearance would be important to RACE 2. "Moreover, a very important part of being in an Abbas-Mustan film is that they bring really cool style and flavour to the characters. They are extremely stylish directors and I am sure there would be something good reserved for me even though it's a guest appearance," she says.
"I have immense respect for Bipasha as a co-star and it's embarrassing that people should think otherwise. Don't know where the rumors keep creeping up from over and over again!" Daggubati posted on his Twitter page.
The 25-year-old actor, who has been reportedly dating Shriya Saran for the past five years, is said to have had a rift with her -- thanks to his closeness to Bipasha. However, Daggubati has denied anything more than a friendship with Shriya.
"Shriya has known me since I was in college. We've been great friends for over 8 yrs now. All other gossips are false," he added on the Twitter.
John and Bipasha, the sexiest couple in Bollywood who had an unmatchable and impeccable chemistry, have sadly parted ways. And this time, It’s official..
Well, their remarkable 10-year-old relationship came to an end because of difference of opinions.
“They may still make an appearance together at an event but the fact is that they are no longer a couple,” says a source close to the couple. “The split was very much impending”, claims a close friend of theirs and adds, “Bipasha wanted marriage but John was not ready to be tied down. They were together for a decade, so the decision came naturally to Bipasha.”
The news became quite obvious because John and Bipasha no more made public appearances together.

When Hollywood has already reached home and it doesn't require much effort to hunt for an original, netizens have quickly managed to hint on the source of "Aakrosh". The name that at the top of the list is not a Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil or any other regional film. It is Oscar winner Hollywood flick "Mississippi Burning" (1989) which starred Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe.
An industry observer says, "With the basic plotline seemingly similar for both the films, it wasn't hard to draw other parallels. While "Mississippi Burning" highlighted the divide of black and white, honour killing (which is the underlining theme of 'Aakrosh') is also making headlines due to cast divide in India."
"Also, both the films are hard hitting dramas and make an attempt to highlight a topical issue in a non-compromising manner. The actors chosen for both the films, in this case Ajay Devgan and Akshaye Khanna, are also known for their intense acts while the man at the helm of affairs, Priyadarshan, has always been known for his remakes. It is tough to ignore similarity points here", he adds.
But, Kumar Mangat , the producer of "Aakrosh" denies any similarity between the two films. He says with a straight face, "Aakrosh" is based on a report that had appeared years back in a leading national newspaper. I remember how we all were shocked when the news break happened around three college going boys getting killed because one of them was having an affair with a higher cast girl."
"There was a CBI enquiry done and it was revealed that police, collector, a local local MLA - just about everyone was involved. We always wanted to make a film around this theme, adapted it to the current scenario and made "Aakrosh", he states the reason behind making "Aakrosh".
Most probably the film going to release on 1st October, 2010. Whether "Aakrosh" bears any similarities to "Mississippi Burning" would be known then but by the look of things, it can be rest assured that this Priyadarshan film does promise to bring with it quite some drama for the audience.
Also starring Bipasha Basu and Paresh Rawal plays a vital roles in "Aakrosh" which helped in pumping the glamour scene with an item number by Sameera Reddy and Urvashi Sharma. The film also stars Kumar Mangat's daughter Amita Pathak as well as Reema Sen who was seen in Priyadarshan's comedy "Malamaal Weekly".
