Mumbai, Jul 26: It seems like all is not well between the muse and the master. Actress Bipasha Basu somehow seemed to have irked the Bhatts who decided not to invite the Raaz girl for the Murder 2 success party.

Sources say that Bips had almost been finalized for the lead role in Raaz 3 but was dropped off after she threw tantrums for an item number in Murder 2 which was eventually performed by Yana Gupta.

An angry Mahesh Bhatt said that he and Mukesh had decided not to succumb to her tantrums. “Bipasha tried to impose her starry airs on my company which has been a springboard to her stardom, starting with Raaz and then Jism. Mukesh and I took a decision not to succumb to her tantrums. We have survived ten years creating stars and not depending on them," he said.

On being questioned about Bipasha’s involvement in Raaz 3, he said that since the script was still not in their hands, it was premature to say anything. “Why should she come to a party where the project is still fluid? The party was neither an industry event nor a social one. So she wasn't invited," he said.

However, Bipasha has been spotted around the Bhatts’ office, probably extending an olive branch?
