Bollywood dusky babe Bipasha Basu's loss is Jacqueline Fernandez's gain. The Sri Lankan beauty has now replaced the former, who lost out on a plum role in the Bhatts' Raaz 3 due to temper tantrums over an item number in Murder 2. Jackie will now play the leading lady in the sequel to Raaz (a film that made Bipasha famous) opposite Vishesh Films' blue eyed boy Emraan Hashmi.
And the role fell in Jackie's laps soon after her performance in Murder 2, which pleased the Bhatt brothers, no end. "Jacqueline is very uninhibited. She has done some very sexy kissing and lovemaking scenes in Murder 2. She was not shy at all during the shoot. Even after the intimate scenes were canned, she was not seen giggling on the sets, as some new actresses tend to do. This also shows that she is very professional.
And Bhatts like it when actors don't get too big for their boots," revealed a source close to the production house. Written by Shagufta Rafique, Raaz 3 will herald the return of Vikram Bhatt as a director to Vishesh Films after seven years.
