Bipasha to Loses mood at Star Screen Awards

The 15th Nokia Star Screen Awards night has been in the news for all the wrong reasons and most of which has been witnessed by the TV audience. But there is also one Bollywood persona who will never forget the explosive 15th Nokia Star Screen Night apart from many others is Bipasha Basu.

Sources inform, "Bipasha was to do her Lucky Boy act from Bachna Ae Haseeno. But her act was supposed to be a pre-shot act. However, due to some delay it was decided to shoot post the presentation ceremony. But the infamous Sajid Khan-Ashutosh Gowariker spat delayed the awards ceremony by a good 20-25 minutes thus delaying the entire event nearly by an hour and a half. The stipulated time to shoot was already over, which left the organizers in a quandary as her act was a part of the content and the promo were already on air. Meanwhile, amidst all this, Bipasha was in no mood to do her act and had already changed her attire and removed her make up. Finally organizers managed to take the permission to shoot but until then Bipasha was very tired and showed her reluctance to get ready all over again and do her performance."

"But eventually she agreed. But her body language clearly displayed her disinterest in doing the act as it was in contrast with her on screen superb energetic performance which audience enjoyed in the movie," concluded the source.

Bipasha to star with Titanic Actor

In a breaking news it was reported that Bipasha Basu has been signed opposite an International project starring Billy Zane and Kunal Kapoor. The film, titled Chai Mera will be music director turned producer Tabun Sutradhar's second International production after Hidden starring Hollywood actor Christopher Atkins.

Sources inform, "Chai Mera is a thriller and will be directed by Hollywood filmmaker Daniel Silverman. Bipasha has got an author backed role and has been paid a huge signing amount for the film. A large part of the film will be shot in India with Billy Zane, famous for his villain's part in the mega successful and multiple Oscar award winning film, Titanic being part of it. Kunal Kapoor will feature in a special appearance but his character is supposed to be very important."

My work is my life: Bipasha Basu

Back in Srinagar to shoot for 'Lamhaa', Bipasha Basu says that she’s not going to risk her life for a film. This is what the dusky beauty says about the issue.

“Too much was made out of the whole thing (when Bips left the schedule in Srinagar earlier). Lamhaa is a difficult film. There was bound to be ups and downs. The producer and director knew why I left. A certain amount of security was promised. The first seven days were absolute chaos – nothing was organised and there was a lack of security,” she said.

“Yes, my work is my life. But then, I’ve a life beyond work. I’m not going to risk my life unnecessarily for any film. Who comes to hold your hand when you’re in pain? Let’s be optimistic,” she added.

She said, “This time, hopefully, we’ll shoot without any trouble. Let’s be sensible about it. Lamhaa is a sensible film and it would be difficult for audiences to follow (the language and behaviour of the local Kashmiri girls, which she’d planned to learn earlier). At the end of the day, we’re making a commercial film.”

“I love working with Rahul Dholakia (the director of Lamhaa ). He’s fun and funny. We’ve a strange equation. He looked at me at the start and asked if I am a method actor. I liked that. It showed the director had enough respect in me to first find out what kind of an actress I am,” she added.

Bipasha did RNBDJ in the hope of doing a full-length role with Shah Rukh'

Bipasha Basu, who abruptly left the shooting schedule of 'Lamhaa' in Kashmir last year, says she left in a huff because a certain security she had been promised wasn't provided at the location. "Too much was made out of the whole thing.'Lamhaa' is a difficult film.

There was bound to be ups and downs. The producer and director knew why I left. A certain amount of security was promised. The first seven days were absolute chaos - nothing was organised and there was lack of security.

"Yes, my work is my life. But then I've a life beyond work. I'm not going to risk my life unnecessarily for any film. Who comes to hold your hand when you're in pain? Let's be practical," Bipasha told us. Bipasha has now returned to Kashmir to shoot for 'Lamhaa', with the assurance from the producer Bunty Walia and director Rahul Dholakia of beefed-up security.

After last year's incident, Bipasha's security is of special concern and her co-star Sanjay Dutt, in fact, proceeded to Kashmir a day ahead of her to ensure the atmosphere is conducive for the actress to resume shooting.

The actress, who starred in last year's first big hit 'Race', says she thoroughly, enjoyed her cameo in the song 'Phir milenge chalte chalte' in '‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’'. "It was like Mumtaz-meets-Sadhana. I loved it! I got a chance to work with Shah Rukh Khan, nothing else matters. Like millions, I had seen him on screen. Then I met him for a show and I was very impressed.

"I did 'Rab Ne...' in the hope of doing a full-length role with Shah Rukh and a film with Aditya Chopra. That one day of shooting with Shah Rukh was memorable. He's the nicest superstar I've ever met and irresistibly charming. This was my chance to dance." Bipasha hasn't signed any films after Dholakia's 'Lamhaa'.

"Before that I only have 'Aa Dekhe Zaraa' with Neil Nitin Mukesh. I just don't feel like signing anything until I'm convinced about it. With 'Lamhaa' it was an instant affinity to the role. And I love working with Rahul Dholakia. He's fun and funny. We've a strange equation," said Bipasha.
