Bips unlucky, Mallika lucky!

Bipasha Basu and Mallika Sherawat seem to be starcrossed. If one closely follows the development in their career for the last few months, you can notice that they are invariably landing each other���s roles; or are being considered for the same roles.
One hears that the makers of Osthe, the Tamil remake of Dabangg, had wanted the Bengali siren to do Kalasala... (the Tamil version of the superhit
Munni Badnaam���) but ultimately, it was sassy Mallika who got to perform for it.
Likewise, Afzal Rizvi (brother of Anusha Rizvi, who directed Peepli Live) had, according to reliable sources, given Bips a narration of his adventurethriller Lucky Unlucky that is likely to go on floors soon. Bips, who was shooting Jodi Breakers at Greece, had apparently liked what she heard but couldn���t get back to Afzal in time.
In the meanwhile, Bollywood baddie Sonu Sood, who has turned producer with Lucky Unlucky, managed a coup of sorts. Sonu was shooting for Osthe in Chennai with Mallika Sherawat and he reportedly asked her to be his leading lady. Mallika was given a narration and she fell in love with the script of Lucky Unlucky. Before one could say Jack Robinson, Sonu and team had signed the Los Angeles based actress as their heroine. Our source confirms, ���Sonu and Mallika did hit it off during the shooting of Osthe in Chennai. Both are north Indians and found many common things to chat about including their Haryana-Punjab connections. Guess it was only natural for these two to continue working on a full-fledged feature after they finished their song.���
