Model-turned-actress Bipasha Basu`s first film, Ajnabee, has just been released. But the leggy beauty has already attracted a ‘heavyweight' fan: David Dhawan, who is known for making rib-tickling super hits.Grapevine has it that the roly-poly director has taken a fancy for the Bengali beauty.

Although Dhawan is yet to sign her in any of his films, his erstwhile assistant, Ajay Chandok, has signed her up for a venture that will co-star Sanjay Dutt and Saif Ali Khan. Insiders say Dhawan was instrumental in Bipasha getting the role.
