Yana Gupta
Yana Gupta replaces Bipasha
Vivek Oberoi's Dum has a new item number

Rohini Iyer

Bollywood considers Bipasha Basu the flavour of the year.

When news filtered in about Bipasha doing an 'item' number for Vivek Oberoi starrer Dum, there was understandably curiosity about the song.

Bipasha was supposed to shake a sexy leg to the catchy beat of Babuji zara dheere chalo, a chartbuster conjured up by composer Sandeep Chowta. The Dum album is already a best-seller, thanks to the smashing title track. Slickly choreographed by Ganesh Hegde (of Kambakth Ishq in Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya and Nikalle bhaiyye in Road fame), the Dum song boasts of cool visuals and a hotter than ever Vivek Oberoi.

Ganesh, we hear, is set to repeat the magic of Dum in Babuji zara dheere chalo. But Bipasha no longer figures in the picture. "She was available only after December 24. We had to start shooting immediately and had no choice but to look for an alternative," says director E Niwas.

Stunning Czech-born model Yana Gupta will replace Bipasha.

With her peaches and cream complexion and picture perfect looks, Yana is an unlikely candidate for the rustic Babuji zara dheere chalo. But choreographer Hegde promises to make her sizzle.

Niwas, who has a National Award for Shool, insists the song will be a hit. "This is the first time Yana is making an appearance on the big screen. She's a fabulous dancer. The song is something to look forward to."
