Kangana Ranaut refuses to wear bikini for shoot

Kangana Ranaut refused to wear a bikini for a key scene in the upcoming comedy film Rascals.

The actress changed her mind after shopping for the bikini herself when she learnt that the scene would show her being ogled by the characters played by Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn, Mumbai Mirror reports.

A source told the paper: "Kangana had even told her friends that she was very excited to wear a two-piece and was looking forward to the day. Nobody could understand what prompted her to change her mind."

However, another source suggested that the actress was wary of getting into the outfit because she had put on weight during the shooting of Tanu Weds Manu.

Ranaut and Basu 'no longer friends'

Kangna Ranaut has allegedly fallen out with director Anurag Basu.

The actress has worked with Basu on a number of projects, including Life In A Metro and Gangster.

According to Mumbai Mirror, Ranaut is unhappy with the type of roles she is being asked to play in the director's films.

"Ranaut still cares for Basu. But he has been really unfair to her. You don't consider people as your lucky mascot, but in return give them a raw deal," a source claimed.

"There is much more to Ranaut than playing only demented females. She has it in her to display a gamut of emotions."

The star is also reported to have felt disappointed with the editing of Kites, which left her with minimal screen time.
