/> If there was an award for the most animated game of musical chairs in showbiz, Ram Gopal Varma's Darling (earlier entitled Baby) would win hands down.

First Randeep Hooda opted out and was replaced by Fardeen Khan. Then Lara Dutta said no and left for London, leaving the coast clear for Esha Deol.

And now Bipasha Basu has also opted out. She has been replaced by Isha Koppiker who gained her portion of fame as the Khallas girl in Ramu's Company.

Says Isha, "Yes I'm doing Darling. Why and how I don't know. I think Ramu would be in a better position to answer."

So what brings on this eleventh hour change in the caste when Ramu has already shot forty percent of Darling?

"Nothing!" asserts Ramu. "It's as simple and boring as a dates problem. So please don't try to read anything more into it. I'd love to work with Bipsha.

In fact she did Darna Zaroori Hai with us and will work for us again in the future. I find Isha suits the role too. So when Bipasha expressed her inability we quickly asked Isha and she agreed."
