The grapevines were buzzing with Bipasha Basu’s entry into Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus ‘Raavana’. Now it is said that the lady is nearly out of the Vikram-Aish starrer movie. Bips was roped in to play Raavan’s (Vikram) wife Mandodari.

Sources have it that Mandodari’s character seemed using much space in the movie and more dominating than the other leading ladies, Aishwarya Rai and Priyamani, in the movie. Meanwhile, Bips is really upset over the news and said, “I am sad... but it’s better than having my role chopped or totally edited... when lot of effort had gone to work out the role for this guest character.”

However, the director’s publicist stated that he did not want to any injustice to her role and he would see that they both work together next time. So one has to wait for sometime to see whether this dusky beauty is really off the movie or not. For, it is said that either Mandodari’s character will remain in the movie or Bips will be replaced.

Better luck next time, Bips!
