| Bipasha's Birthday Wish: Mature Roles She caught our eye in Ajnabee but really made it in the list of Bollywood sirens with her bold act in Jism. But as she turns 30 today, Bipasha Basu is hoping to move ahead from her sexy roles and onto signing mature roles. Her stint with art house movie started with Prakash Jha's 2005 political drama Apaharan. He presented her in a deglamourised role and then came Madhur Bhandarkar's critically acclaimed 2006 film Corporate. In both films Bipasha proved her mettle and both critics and audiences applauded her performance. Last year she did Rituparno Ghosh's Bengali film Shob Charitro Kalponik and is currently doing Sudipto Chattopadhyaya's Pankh and Rahul Dholakia's Lamhaa. For Lamhaa, Bipasha is all set to change the dynamics of physical appearances of a Kashmiri girl. "When you think of a Kashmiri girl in our movies, what comes to mind is a fair-skinned, light-eyed girl. But I want to disprove that myth. The pre-conceived notions have to be overcome," said Bipasha. The actress is bent on looking convincing in the role and had even invited a Kashmiri woman to Mumbai in order to study her body language, speech patterns and mannerisms to get into the character. "I think I'm going to be more keen on getting it right than the director. I've never done a film like this before. The role requires me to be someone else altogether." "And for this I needed help. I wanted to play the character the way girls really are today in Kashmir. Very basic," explains the actress. Unlike other actors, Bipasha is not very keen to try her luck in Hollywood. "No filmmakers of Hollywood are willing to sign any Bollywood actor without a screen test apart from Aishwarya Rai. They seem to know no Hindi film actors, not even Amitabh Bachchan. "I found out that I will have to start again (there) from scratch like screen tests and other tantrums. They treat you like a newcomer. So I've decided to stay in Mumbai and be the 'queen' here," she had said. "India is a very comfortable place for us because we have already made a niche here. So why would anyone want to go and struggle there? I don't want to go and struggle. I have gone through my struggle," she signs off. Link http://www.indya.com/ |
