Bipasha Basu to get bitchy

Buzz is that actress Bipasha Basu will be seen playing the role of Bhanwari Devi in her upcoming movie titled "BITCH".

The movie is based on the life of a Rajasthani woman named Bhanwari Devi. Bhanwari Devi is a low-caste potter from Bhateri, a small village in Rajasthan located 55 km from the state capital Jaipur. Most of the villagers belonged to the conservative Gurjar community, which is higher in the caste hierarchy than the Kumhar caste, to which Bhanwari belongs. 

Bhanwari Devi was a nurse who allegedly blackmailed Rajasthan politicians over their sexual misconduct. She was gang raped by high caste villagers in the year 1992 and the subsequent court case attracted widespread media attention nationally and internationally.

The film will show the life and struggle of Bhanwari and her fight for justice.

The role of Bhanwari Devi has already been depicted onscreen by director Jag Mundhra . The movie directed by him was named Bawandar (English Title: The Sand Storm) and was released in the year 2000 and the role of Bhanwari was played by Nandita Das. The movie was produced by Gaurang Joshi and Jag Mundhra.

Seems as if Bipasha Basu is all set to play the role of a tough village girl.
