Bipasha Basu gung ho about playing Kashmiri girl Bipasha Basu is making an extra effort to get under the skin of her character in
director Rahul Dholakia's movie 'Lamha'. In the movie, also starring Sanjay Dutt
and Kunal Kapoor, Bipasha plays a Kashmiri girl. At first thought, the idea of
Bipasha playing a fair skinned Kashmiri girl with hazel eyes may sound absurd. But
Bipasha is determined to break the stereotype.
"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," Bipasha is quoted by IANS. So gung ho is Bipasha
about her role that she says she wants to get it right more than anyone, including
director Rahul Dholakia.
"I think I'm going to be more keen on getting it right than the director," says
the sultry lass. What has got Bipasha so excited is that she hasn't yet played a
role as challenging as the one in 'Lamha'. "I've never done a film like this
before. The role requires me to be someone else altogether. I've to change my
entire personality. And for this I needed help. I wanted to play the character the
way girls really are today in Kashmir," says Bipasha, who studied the mannerisms
and language of a Kashmiri girl that was special called to Mumbai for Bipasha's
preparation. |
