Moreover, the real reason behind Bips’s dismissal is still unknown, but sources said that her role in the movie was quite strong and she was upset with the length of her role in the film. Some gossips said that Bips was posing great threat to Aishwarya Rai and Priya Mani.

Bipasha has a reason to be upset as the actress was chucked out of the film but Bips dismissed the rumours that her role in Mani Ratnam's flick was cancelled because her character posed a threat to the other actresses. She insists it was an amicable decision between her and the director.

When approached and asked the reason for her role being scrapped, the actress 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.”

Rumour mills were abuzz that Bipasha's role was overpowering as compared to the other female stars. "They were all rumours and only rumours. I am not a part of Raavan. I was initially a part of Raavan but Mani sir thought he couldn't do justice to my role as to whatever he had promised me would definitely be in conflict with the actual story of the film once it is shot," said Bipasha.

"So he took a call instead of being in an embarrassing position later on. He decided to tell me that and amicably we decided that it should not be done. Hopefully we'll work together soon. So now there's going to be no Mandodari in the film," she added.

Bipasha now looks forward to multi-starrer comedy ‘All The Best’ that is releasing Friday. Distributed by Yash Raj Films, the laughathon has been directed by Rohit Shetty. Apart from Bipasha, it also stars Fardeen Khan, Mugdha Godse, Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn, who has produced the comedy.

"All The Best is a situational comedy and a total entertainer. It deals with a lot of mistaken identities, people lying and getting into trouble," Bipasha said.

"My character is called Jahnvi who is married to Ajay in the film. She is a straightforward girl who is trying to run her life and family by looking after a totally rundown gym. She cons people to join the gym by lying because by the looks of it, nobody wants to join it," she added. Apparently this is the 30-year-old's sixth movie with Ajay Devgn. "We also did a film together with Sanjay Dutt that was completed 50 percent, "Mr Fraud" (shelved)," she said.

Asked how her co-star was as a producer, she said, "He is a very good producer. He in fact gifted me a Blackberry apart from giving me the money for the film. What's important is that at the end of the day he is a very good friend and a very good co-star. I've known Ajay for quite some time now. He is very entertaining and makes you laugh and he's a fabulous actor."

Bipasha says she agreed to do All The Best after she realised it had the same essence as No Entry. "I have done comedies before like No Entry and Phir Hera Pheri And I really got the same flavour as No Entry when All The Best was narrated to me.”

"I laughed throughout the narration and I thought if a film could entertain me so much on a narrative level, I need to be a part of it because I wanted to see it made, as it's hilarious," she said.

Apart from All The Best, Bipasha's future projects include Lamha, Pankh and Priyadarshan's next.
