Not in real life but for their forthcoming film ‘Race', Bipasha Basu and Saif Ali Khan will be getting intimate for a lovemaking scene.

The Saif and Bipasha friendship has been making headlines of late. Bips has often been spotted with Saif at parties, social dos and restaurants. In fact, their growing proximity has fueled the speculation of a possible rift between Bipasha and her boyfriend John Abraham.

Now, the latest dope on Bips and Saif is that they will be seen enacting a passionate lovemaking scene in director duo Abbas-Mastan's next thriller ‘Race'. The scene will be part of a song in the film.

While sources at TIPS (film's producers) say the scene is yet to be shot, there are some media reports that allege that the scene has already been shot in relative secrecy.

According to reports, the sequence was recently shot at a studio in Goregaon East. During this intimate scene between Saif and Bipasha, everybody in the unit, except a few technicians, was asked to leave the sets.

If this is true, then it is obviously understandable that the lovemaking scene was very steamy.

Tips Films, the producers of Race, intend to use the risqué scenes extensively as part of the promos for the film.

Ramesh Taurani from Tips Films says: "Yes it is true that we have very hot scenes featuring Saif and Bipasha, which are part of a song."

Race is a thriller set in South Africa which features Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, Saif Ali Khan, Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif.
