Bipasha Basu has played the seductive girlfriend in many pictures. Her bold acts in Raaz and Jism had ruffled many feathers in the industry. So playing the same role in another film is not a big deal for this sexy siren. But this time she will be a non-existent character!
Directed by Sudipto Chattopadhyay, Pankh is about a 20-year-old boy, Jerry, who is confused about his identity – whether he's a boy or a girl, a man or eunuch. Since, he used to be a famous child artiste, cross-dressed by his mother as a girl. Bipasha's character is an imaginary one, who exists in this boy's thoughts as a fantasy. The film deals with the psychological consequences of the situation faced by a child artiste who acts as a girl in films.
Rocky S and Gavin Miguel create Bipasha's look for this movie. Sudipto wanted Bipasha to look like Sophia Loren and Liza Minelli from 'Cabaret' in a sizzling song 'Jiya Jala Na' sung by Sunidhi Chouhan. In this song Bipasha tries to seduce Jerry. She causes a constant disturbance in Jerry's mind. His only relief is when he sexually fantasizes about Bips. It is learnt that Bipasha agreed to do the film after just a single-line narration. And she is believed to have given a terrific performance, if the director's comments are to go by.
