“Bipasha’s costumes are ready. She is very happy with her look for the film. She is looking forward to joining the Raavana unit,” added the source.
When quizzed to Bipasha, she confirmed it and said, “Bipasha has not only an item number in the film but also a proper role, which can be termed as a special appearance. Right now, she is shooting for Priyadarashan’s film with Akshaye Khanna and Ajay Devgan. She will be shooting for 20 days for Raavana.”
