Bipasha has a “Pankh” to fly

05Nov09

The Bengali Babe who recently declared herself to be the Bikini Babe of tinsel town will now be seen as a desi damsel in her new movie Pankh.The actress talked about her character in the movie which is based on the drama by Sudipto Chattopadhyay and said,”The character that I am portraying in Pankh is called Nandini. She is as weird as girl from a village can ever be. It’s an angry young woman kind of a character”.Bipasha says that her role in the movie has no particular guideline and it is totally atypical for a girl to play such a character.

Bipasha kick started her career unlike other actresses in bollywood.Her role in Jism still has people in awe of her.The sad part,though,is that she has been typecast ever since, as a sex symbol and Pankh was a perfect opportunity for her to shake off the tag stuck to her.The actress maintains that she is not satisfied with the kind of roles that she has pulled off so far.Few of her other movies include Raaz, Ajnabee, No Entry’, Phir Herapheri, Corporate,Dhoom 2 and recently All The Best which was a huge hit at the Box Office.

Like everyone else in B-town,she wants people to remember her as an actor and not as an eye candy.

Sadly,that is the ugly truth of Bollywood,once a babe,remains a babe and when you have the hunk John Abraham for a boyfriend,who would resist calling you a hotty ?

Bipasha Basu distressed with security during shoot

03Nov09

Too much of anything is not good and that holds true for the bengali beauty too. The actress was shooting for the movie Lamhaa ,which is due to be released next year, in Kashmir when the security around her was tightened due to the crowd that gathered around the set.The pool of men in uniform surrounding her intimidated Bipasha which was apparent with her expressions.

Sensing the tension on Bipasha’s face,the producer of the movie Bunty Walia came to her rescue and asked the security to set aside and give the actress some space.

The producer told that due to the shooting of the film at a massive scale after a long time in Kashmir ,the crowd gathered around to watch it.As a result the security went on an alert to manage the ever increasing crowd and this made Bipasha uncomfortable.Consequently Bunty Walia took Bipasha aside from all the pandemonium and saved the day. The security was relaxed thereafter.

Consequently our security was also beefed up to deal with the swelling crowds that used to throng the sets. On this particular day, when Bipasha was surrounded by security men, I could sense her discomfort at this heightened security blanket around her and had to intervene. Finally, the actress breathed a sigh of relief when the security around her was relaxed.”

LAMHAA is one of the few films that has been shot in Kashmir over the years and is slated to release early next year.

Bipasha says NO to smoking

27Oct09

The new brand ambassador of La Opala glass tableware Bipasha Basu has decided that she would not take a puff in her forthcoming film Pankh. Because of her refusal, the director of the film will be taking a trick shot to show as if the Bollywood beauty has actually smoked in the film.

According to the sources, another actress Deepika Padukone has also echoed the same protest but instead of trick shot the producer of her film Karthik Calling Karthik is going to use organic cigarettes.

this brings us to the conclusion that bollywood actors and actresses are surely against the act of smoking. They refuse to do so even if the role demands it as they don’t like to promote anything like smoking through their roles.

Upcoming flicks that will star Bipasha Basu are Shob Charitro Kalponik, All The Best-Fun Begins and Lamhaa

all the best bipasha

This is how All The Best came her way and she accepted. The way she tackled a small portion of it in Dhoom 2, and later did the full blown comic caper No Entry that became a huge success, she became very confident of the genre and her capability to do comedy.

“When I got a chance to then do All The Best , I said to myself, this is something I’m not going to miss out on,” says the Bengali
bombshell, who insists that she rolled with laughter while shooting and dubbing for this situational comedy.

Bipasha says the entire Goa schedule was like a picnic… with everyone stationed in the same hotel for over a month. “Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan and I worked together, and worked out together at the gym,” she says.

“We also bonded over cricket and swimming after pack-up… and it was one big happy family atmosphere.”

Of her co-stars Ajay, Sanjay and Fardeen, she says, “All of them have tackled more comedy than I have in my career; so it was a cakewalk for them. However, while shooting with them, I realised that I can tickle a funny bone too.”

Bipasha is confident that if sequels to No Entry and All The Best are ever made; she would definitely do them.

All The Best released on October 16 and is getting good reviews.

Making people laugh is serious business, right?
