Wedding can wait, not Raaz 3: Esha Gupta

Esha Gupta to give family wedding a miss to attend promotional events for her new film

Coming from an army background, it is no wonder that for Esha Gupta, the call of duty comes first. So much so that she is giving a family wedding a miss as she will be busy promoting her upcoming film.

Our source says, `She is still very new in the industry. She is lucky that in her very first year in the industry, she has two back-to-back films. She cannot take chances.`

Towards the end of this month and early September, her family will be busy prepping up for her cousin brother's wedding. While some of the pre-wedding ceremonies will be held in Delhi and Ludhiana, the main event will be taking place in Jodhpur.


At the same time, the cast of Vikram Bhatt's next will be promoting their film. And once that gets over, Esha is expected to join the promotions of Prakash Jha's next. The source adds that though Esha will not be part of the wedding, she is involved in the wedding preparations.

Raaz 3: Bips plays 'jealous' Amisha

She plays the character of a jealous actor in the film

In Vikram Bhatt's Raaz 3, Bipasha Basu plays a frustrated, jealous actress. The role is, apparently, inspired from none other than his ex-lover Amisha Patel.

Says Vikram, `Well, all I can say is, all art is finally cannibalised from one's personal experiences. When I was with Amisha, both of us were going through a career low. I've seen how failure affects people. `

Vikram's mentor Mahesh Bhatt, who is the producer of Raaz 3, admits to the similarity. `Vikram shared details of his tumultuous relationship with this Amisha.

Insecurities are an integral part of an actress' life, as her shelf life is limited. We built on that idea to create Bipasha's character in Raaz 3. ` When asked whether the actress in Vikram's life is Amisha, he replied in the affirmative.


`We took the basic idea of the insecurities that creep up on an actress after a few years in the business, and then we built on her desperation. The film shows the character urging her director (Emraan Hashmi) into wrongdoings. In her desperation to cling to her stardom she begins to workship a satan and practices black magic on her younger rival. `

Do for die for Bips

Mahesh Bhatt says Bipasha in her own career has reached a do-or-die stage. `Younger girls have come into the industry and she has suffered a broken heart recently. Given the circumstances, she will either sink like a rock or fly like a bird. `

When we asked Amisha about her life being used to develop a character, she says, `Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I do not want to comment. I've too much on my plate with my own productions and the films that I've signed outside my production house. I would rather focus on them. `
