Bipasha was first choice for Yamla Pagla Deewana 2

Sangeeth Sivan takes over from Samir Karnik to direct the sequel of Yamla Pagla Deewana- Yamla Pagla Deewana 2.
Sangeeth who had earlier directed films like Zor, Kyaa Kool Hai Hum and Apna Sapna Money Money, comes up with another comedy starring the three Deols as the main leads in this film.
While Neha Sharma will be seen opposite Bobby Deol, Kristina Akheeva who makes her Bollywood debut will be paired opposite Sunny Deol.
Interestingly, Bipasha was the first choice for YMPD2. Says Sangeeth, “We did think of big names and approached Bipasha Basu first, but she did not have dates. We also approached Preity Zinta but she was busy with her film”.
But Sangeeth is happy with the two leading ladies in YMPD2. “Both Neha and Kristina are good and I’m happy with the end result”.
YMPD2 releases on 7th June.
