To copy 😆
At 7:10
"Bhatt Sahib had his own philosophy. He would say, "theek se copy karo yaar, imaadari se karo. Karna hai toh theek se karo" 😆

"Bipasha joined us on the sets the other day and told me, that she was watching some tv show and said 'it was just like Race' some Korean movie. Race was a copy too" 😆

And earlier than that, talks about how being a nawab is sometimes like a gaali.
In one of his films he said he was dubbing for a scene where someone grabs him and says "haram zaade" but the censors had a problem, so the producer said, "Sub it with nawaab zaade" 😆

Saifu! I love this pol khol interview. 😆


Mahesh Bhatt is such a shameless guy didn't know he actually used to send DVDs for copy pasting scenes. No wonder all his chelas, Vikram Bhatt to Mohit Suri are talentless directors only good in lifting foreign films.

Race was not a copy of some Korean drama/movie, it was a HW movie. Directed by the same director who made Bipasha's HW movie with Josh Hartnett. It's interesting how Bipasha learnt about it. 😆



Bipasha Basu found herself in an awkward spot recently while shooting for City of Joy director Roland Joffe's ambitious period film Singularity in Australia.

One afternoon, the actress was reportedly discussing her career with Joffe, who is familiar with Hindi films, having worked with Shabana Azmi and Om Puri, and having spent some time in India researching the new movie and auditioning actors for it. Speaking of the last blockbuster she'd been in, Bipasha explained the premise of Abbas-Mustan's twisted 2008 thriller Race, in which she starred with Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif and Anil Kapoor.

The plot, reportedly, felt familiar to Joffe who interrupted Bipasha midway through her narration and volunteered to predict the story from that point on. Bipasha was surprised that the filmmaker could chart the story down to the last detail, but not as surprised as Joffe was! An eye-witness on the set says the British director had turned a new shade of crimson. He had, after all, just realised the film Bipasha was talking about had been shamelessly plagiarised from one of his own.

Turns out Bollywood's serial plagiarists Abbas-Mustan had stolen the entire plot and screenplay of Race from the 1999 Hollywood thriller Goodbye Lover, that Joffe himself happened to have directed. The original starred Patricia Arquette as a woman married to the brother of her lover, the part Bipasha played in the desi knock-off. Joffe, allegedly, was surprised that the director-duo stole even his supporting characters including a snack-munching detective, played by Ellen DeGeneres in the original, the part Anil Kapoor took in Race.

Embarrassed, Bipasha is believed to have told friends she didn't know where to look. But the director reportedly made her feel comfortable again by laughing off the matter. He did, however, ask if he could borrow a DVD of Race from her!

🤣 🤣 🤣


TRUST Saif to say things like these!!! His most awesome quality apart from his wit, is his sincere way of taking pot-shots at people. He takes them so honestly, you don't even feel bad. 😆


I can imagine Bhatt saying something pseudo philosophical jf he say this IV.


"There is sincerity in such blatant plagiarism" or some such nonsense. 😆



Saif-Ileana make an interesting & good-looking pair!! Really like them together. 😃
