Rohan Sippy's web series with Bipasha Basu shelved?
An industry source tells us that each episode was costing the producers over Rs 70 lakh and they couldn’t see much recovery of that kind of expense
Even as Rohan Sippy has been confirmed to direct the remake of the Nargis starrer, Raat Aur Din (1967), we hear that his last directorial venture has been aborted. The filmmaker was helming a web series called The Client, said to be on the lines of US television series Scandal, with Bipasha Basu playing the female lead. However, we hear that the studio bankrolling the project was not excited with the way it was shaping up.
After much mulling, they apparently decided to shelve it, rather than be saddled with additional risk of their investment. An industry source tells us that each episode was costing the producers over Rs 70 lakh and they couldn’t see much recovery of that kind of expense.
