Bipasha's Horror affiliation continues!

More than any other actress in the industry, it has been Bipasha Basu who has done most of the successful horror movies to the date. Bipasha who is currently finishing her movie Raaz 3 has confirmed her next horror movie project. The movie is titled 'Aatma' and revolves around a spirit who is haunting the character played by Bipasha.

Bipasha had announced the project recently and interestingly, the media asked if she did have a special place for horror movies or is she that much brave to take these projects up I wish I was braver about such spooky things, but I'm not. In fact, many of my friends are surprised I take up roles in such scary movies. More so, because when I watch any horror film with them, I cover my eyes with my hands and see the proceedings on screen through the gaps between my fingers." says Bipasha with her classic smile.

The movie will be directed by Suparn Varma and the producers are Kumar Mangat and Abhishek Pathak. The suspense of the movie is said to be really out of the box, "That's from the pre-climax onwards, because the major suspense which brings a twist in the tale. When you see the film, you'll be spooked out just as I was when I heard the script." The interesting part about the script is that the full script is available only to Bipasha, the director and the producers, the rest of the crew will find their copies missing atleast 10 pages, which is referred to from 'pre-climax'.

Ask her if she believes in super-naturals? "On one hand, it is said to be not a natural phenomenon. And on the other, it's called super natural, as if it's a superior kind of natural phenomenon. If it is not natural, why call it super-natural," she debates.

The horror movies that Bips has performed has been too convincing and it is now stamped with the count of horror movies that she has been doing and we are informed that the director wants the element of reality in this movie and for the same reason he has chosen the 21st floor of an apartment in Andheri instead of the shooting sets.

"The story takes place in an apartment in a building, and is also a character. When we create a house in a studio, it doesn't look real. Also the way we'll shoot the film, with cameras going in and out of the windows, won't give the effect in a studio house," sums up the filmmaker, Suparn.

John's escapade from Bips?

This is a seemingly interesting news, ever since the breakup Bipasha and John has been avoiding the interactions with each other and this was again shown up at the sets of Race 2 where Bipasha was to do a cameo. Interestingly the whole crew including Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone was present at the shoots but was missing John. He is said to be out of the country with his other commitments. But the crew still suspects this to be a intentional escapade!

However Bipasha clarifies, “John and I aren’t meant to face each other in Race 2. I had a scene with Saif, and that’s exactly what we shot for. I don’t think John was required in Cyprus at that time. I have two scenes in the film, out of which I’ve shot one. That’s about it,” 

However there was rumor that the two will be having more interactions through the sets of Abbas-Mustan’s Race 2. 

Another remake with Bipasha

Bipasha is said to have signed up for the remake of 1982 flick 'Shaukeen', which is being remade by Rohit Roy. And Bipasha is said to play the role of the young girl who is wooed by 3 old men.

“Yes, I have given them the nod for screenplay and the script. But everything has to fall into place contractually. I don’t confirm anything until I sign on the dotted line,” says Bipasha, adding, “When the idea was conceived, Ronit gave me a narration. Now, we have the final draft ready. It’s turned out to be really fun and contemporary.” 

The original Shaukeen revolves around three old men (played by actors Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt and AK Hangal) who set out to impress a young girl (Agnihotri). Mithun Chakraborty plays her boyfriend in the film.

Ask Bipasha about who herco-stars will be and she says, “They (filmmakers) have a very good wish list. So, I’m not going to tell you anything right now. The casting is yet to be finalised.”
