Shahid Kapoor wants Bipasha Basu in his next

Rumours are doing the rounds that actor Shahid Kapoor has apparently recommended his rumoured girlfriend Bipasha Basu’s name to play female lead for the remake of Hollywood film Knight and Day.

Few eyewitnesses informed a leading daily that recently Shahid and Bips were spotted at a coffee shop in Mumbai along with filmmaker Siddharth Anand and his wife. The reports suggest that the foursome were heard discussing a film script.

Earlier, the buzz was rife that either Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone might play the lead role in the film. But, now it looks like Bipasha might just grab the golden opportunity.

Knight and Day remake will be directed by Siddharth Raj Anand. Sources also informed that Shahid and Bipasha were dating sometime back, but remained friends even after they broke up. Hence, Shahid has strongly recommended Bipasha's name to Siddharth for the film.
