The Bengal beauty will soon wear the Goan hat to feature as the new-age Zeenat Aman. Yeah! Rohan Sippy, who was on a heroine hunt for his upcoming film ‘Dum Maro Dum’, has now rounded over our sizzling babe Bipasha Basu.

Earlier we had it that how the director inspired from the classic song of ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’ titled his film ‘Dum Maro Dum’. While the director had confirmed Abhishek Bachchan, Pratik Babbar, Telugu star Rana Daggubati for its male lead, Bipasha’s entry in the team looks to be very promising for the film.

Playing as a hot Goan junkie, one can just look forward to watch Bips doing the popular Zeenat Aman’s act in the title song. However, Rohan shares a different view, “Zeenat Aman is my all time favourite and I hold her in high esteem. There is no one who can be like her but yes, Bipasha has sex appeal and connects well with the audience. But the film has nothing to do with Hare Rama Hare Krishna, except elements like gangsters, drugs and the fact that it is set in Goa.”

Speculations were there that Kangana Ranaut had been initially offered the role. But as the film also includes her ex-beau Aditya Pancholi, Kangana turned down the chance.

The shooting schedule of ‘Dum Maro Dum’ is expected to start shortly.
