The sizzling on-screen chemistry between Bipasha Basu and John Abraham in the song “Billo Rani” from *Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal* still sets hearts racing. However, little did fans know that behind the scenes, their personal lives were filled with tension. Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri recently revealed that the couple’s breakup occurred just days before filming the song, despite their on-screen aura appearing strong. This revelation raises questions about the authenticity of their chemistry during the shoot.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Vivek addressed the tumultuous situation surrounding the production. He shared, “This song has a history. Producers didn’t want it. Javed Saab was against the hook ‘Billo Rani’, Pritam wasn’t sure about qawwali style. John and Bipasha had a breakup just a couple of days before it, so there were lots of issues.” Vivek highlighted the difficulties he faced but noted that only the late Saroj Khan believed in the project, asserting it would become a massive hit.
The dramatic backdrop surrounding the song from *Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal*, which also features Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani, reflects a significantly turbulent period for John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. Their romance, which blossomed around the filming of *Jism* in 2003, spanned nearly nine years before they decided to part ways in 2011. While the exact circumstances of their split remain private, Bipasha described it as “definitely not amicable” in a *Times of India* interview, contrasting John’s take that it was “very amicable and there was nothing ugly about it.”
Tensions during the filming of “Billo Rani” were not just limited to John and Bipasha; they also affected the crew and the overall atmosphere. Now, Bipasha is happily married to Karan Singh Grover and shares a daughter, Devi, while John has settled down with Priya Runchal. This dramatic revelation about John Abraham and Bipasha Basu’s breakup right before filming emphasizes the intense emotions that often accompany high-profile relationships in the entertainment industry.
