Bipasha- Ranbir Secret Compatibility Test
By: Subhash K Jha
November 19, 2007

Bips colours hair while Kapoor has to get three new hairdos

Earlier this week, Bipasha Basu, busy promoting Goal, and Ranbir Kapoor, engrossed in marketing Saawariya, took a day off for a photo-session to check out their on-screen compatibility.

Hair it goes

While Bipasha coloured her hair, Ranbir cut his tresses to manageable length. Ranbir's immediate struggle is to get into three different looks for three phases of his character's love life for his next film for Yash Raj to be directed by Siddharth Anand.

For the film, which Ranbir insists is not a remake of the 1999 Chris O'Donnell romantic comedy The Bachelor, the young actor is required to get into three totally different looks. The character has to go from age 17 to 28 and finally to age 35.

No choice

It won't be easy for the 25 year-old be able to pull off the role of a man ten years older. Ranbir and Siddharth spent the last one week getting the actor to look older.

The actor had his long hair cut (by Aalim) to an austere executive-styled haircut. Ranbir also plans to sport a stubble for the part of the older guy.

For the role of the teenager, Ranbir intends to sport long hair and a beatnik cool-dude attitude, with clothes and accessories to match.

Says Ranbir, "Working with Siddharth is a very give-and-take thing. We've been friends from the time both of us were kids.

His father is my dad's best friend and his mom and my mom are close friends. So naturally, we had no choice but to be friends."

The film goes on the floors on November 24. But the test shoots are on. And Ranbir is fully into courting his four lovely co-stars in four different sections of the film.

From a single-mindedly devoted Saawariya to a roving-eye Casonova…not bad.
