Bipasha has recently tweeted on her Twitter account that she would love it if Atif Aslam sings all the songs just for her someday. The lady starts her day by hearing the best songs of the Pakistani singer and even in her car while she goes for her shoots the singer’s voice just plays loudly. Definitely this news won’t set John on the fire, but he might just want to learn up how to croon to his lady love.

The bong beauty is presently in Gold Coast, Australia, shooting her first international film with director Roland Joffe. The film named ‘Singularity’ has quite a grueling schedule, as she starts 5 in the morning and goes on till 6 in the evening. So the lady is being pampered quite a lot there, and apart from Roland it’s only our Bips who got the privilege of staying in the expensive Palazzo Versace’s condo.

Bipasha Basu want to play Draupadi's New Project?

Bipasha Basu want to play Draupadi's New Project?: Bipasha Basu the hot bombshell of B town is in an experimental frame of mind these days or so it seems, at least from her professional point of view.

Bipasha Basu who is well known for her sex appeal and her gracious charm has been seen in two completely different genres of films of late. She appeared in Lamhaa, where her character was of a simple a young Kashmiri girl who gets into the realm of a political drama. Her role was quite in contrast to the usual glamour oriented ones in commercial cinema. Rather, Bipasha appeared in a total de- glam role in this flick and was well appreciated too.

Recently see was seen in the flick ‘Aakrosh’, where she had also played a non glamorous role. As her fans were getting used to seeing her in this new avatar, there has been news circulating about her bagging a great international project with Oscar winning director Roland Joffe. The movie will see her starring opposite talented actor Josh Harnett. Reports are that she is to have a few steamy scenes with her co star in the film.

Now reports are that Bipasha has confessed to a top news magazine that she is looking forward to enact the role of Draupadi, the wife of the 5 Pandavas from the Epic Mahabharata. Well this could really mean that her fans will get to see a lot more of the versatile actress and in this role of Draupadi she really could be one of the best stars to have ever enacted the part!

Game of Kissing between Bipasha Basu and Hollywood star Josh Harnett

Game of Kissing between Bipasha Basu and Hollywood star Josh Harnett: Bipasha Basu is the talk of tinsel town. Not only has the dusky siren bagged a Hollywood project to be directed by the Oscar-winning director Roland Joffe, she is working opposite Forty Days Forty Nights star Josh Harnett with whom she has some steamy scenes too.

So how is the actress feeling? Expectedly, she is on cloud nine these days! “This project is something new and exciting for me. Working with Roland and getting to star opposite a heartthrob like Josh Hartnett is like a dream come true,” tells Bipasha to a tabloid.

She also has no qualms to get up close and personal with Josh Harnett in the film, because it is a passionate love story about an Indian bodyguard and a British soldier set apart in two different time zones. Something we have seen in the film Lake House.

As per the damsel, if she can do steamy scenes (Jism) and kiss co-star Ranbir Kapoor (Bachna Aey Haseeno), who is not her beau, why would she panic to do such scenes in a Hollywood film.

Bipasha Basu signs $33 million International Project

Bipasha Basu signs $33 million International Project: After sizzling on Bollywood screen for almost a decade, dusky beauty Bipasha Basu has signed her first international project — English-French director Roland Joffe’s Singularity.

The 31-year-old is extremely excited and admits she does have butterflies in her stomach. “I am very excited…but have to admit that I am also a little nervous. Everything happened really fast,” Bipasha told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

Bipasha met Joffe in a chance encounter at the Taj Land’s End Hotel in Mumbai in September. The $33 million movie, written by Ajey Jhankar, is a riveting tale of an impossible love set across two time periods and continents.

It is set in the backdrop of the First Anglo-Maratha War of the 18th century and revolves around four characters – a British officer in colonial India and the Indian woman he falls in love with, an American marine biologist and his researcher lover — who gets trapped in a wrecked British merchant ship. The film will be shot in Australia and India.

Bipasha will be flying to Brisbane in the first week of November. Bipasha, who will be missing Diwali for the initial rehearsals for the film, says she would have loved to get some more time to prepare for her role. “I am not getting much of preparation time right now. I have been given just eight days to prepare for underwater scenes and horse riding…I wish I had at least a month’s time for preparation,” she said. As much as she would have liked to, Bipasha is also not getting much time to brush up on her history.

“There is just no time before I fly out! I have finished all my pending endorsement assignments and now I will try and grasp whatever I can there itself,” she said. Nevertheless, she is looking forward to working with Hollywood actors.

“The script is fantastic. They have a lot of expertise in their field…it’s going to be a whole lot of hard work, and it’s going to be great fun to adapt to their system of working,” she said.
Singularity also stars Bollywood Actor Abhay Deol besides Hollywood stars Chris Pine, Josh Hartnett, Olga Kurylenko, Christopher Egan and Shane Briant, among others.

Bipasha will shoot from the third week of November till the last week of December in Brisbane. Her upcoming Indian projects include Dum Maaro Dum and Abbas-Mustan’s Players.

Bipasha is glad that Abbas-Mustan, who gave her a launchpad with 2001 film Ajnabee, were accommodating enough to adjust their dates so that she could give her nod to Singularity.

Bipasha basu shocked for John punishment

Bipasha basu shocked for John punishment: The 15-day jail sentence for actor John Abraham has shocked everyone close to him, and that includes his parents and girlfriend.

A day after the verdict, actress Bipasha Basu is still reeling under shock. "We'll go to a higher court to fight the verdict. We can't just accept it quietly. John has been treated unfairly," she said.

When the jail sentence was read out in the courtroom, Abraham went so pale that people around thought he would pass out. More than himself, he was concerned about what his God-fearing parents, who have never seen the inside of a police station or courtroom, would go through when they heard about the sentence for an offence that was committed so long ago that even the people closest to him had forgotten about it, a source said.

Basu, who was at a shoot, didn't hear of the verdict till late in the night. She said, "Can you believe it? My phone had stopped working on Thursday. We knew John was going into court, but thought the matter would be closed this time." While Abraham remains tight-lipped about the jail sentence, his friends are concerned about how he has taken the shocking news.

"More than himself, John's concern was for his family and for  youngsters who look up to him as a role model. He is not an irresponsible person. In fact, he's very conscious of his social responsibilities. It's unfair to
punish him for an incident in which he was hurt the most," Basu said.

"We'll fight this together. John is a good human being. I'm not saying this because I am his girlfriend. To his credit, he continued the promotional work for Jhootha Hi Sahi despite the shock," the actress said, breaking down.

"As an individual and   a citizen of this country, I can only say what I feel. And I have to say, with due respect to the legal system, that John doesn't deserve this. Just because he happens to be a star, he's an easy target.
The same offence committed by a non-celebrity would most likely be treated differently. Since he rides a bike, he's very careful about road rules. He doesn't allow any of his friends to drive out on a bike without a helmet. He doesn't bribe the cops, he pays his taxes... what is he being punished for?"

Close friend and director of his forthcoming film, Abbas Tyrewala said, "The best rumour I've heard recently is that John's predicament is a publicity stunt for our film. On Twitter, a woman asked me if AR Rahman's misadventure at the Commonwealth Games was a publicity stunt for  Jhootha Hi Sahi. All I can say is, have a heart, guys. Don't celebrities have feelings?"

Bipasha Basu’s weakness according to John!

Bipasha Basu’s weakness according to John!: For eight years, John Abraham and Bipasha Basu have been committed to each other romantically. There’s apparently a secret behind this long-lasting love.

While promoting his film Jhootha Hi Sahi on the show ‘Emotional Atyachar’ John got candid when asked about the reason behind his rock-steady relationship with Bipasha.

John revealed that whenever he does something wrong, Bipasha keeps forgetting it as she has short memory. He obviously did not go as far as to elaborate what ‘wrongs’ he had done.

John also spoke about the art of lying to make a relationship work. In Jhootha Hi Sahi he plays a character who’s an irrevocable liar.

John and Bipasha began dating in 2002. Since then their relationship has seen rare downs and has mostly been steady.

The Italian Job remake: Bipasha Basu play leading role

The Italian Job remake: Bipasha Basu play leading role: Bipasha Basu’s wish to do an action role has been fulfilled. The lady has bagged a plum role in Abbas-Mastan’s Hindi remake of the 2003 Hollywood thriller ‘The Italian Job’.

Just recently, Bipasha had expressed her itching desire to do an action role after a spate of serious, character-based roles in her recent films. Well, the wish has been granted.

She will reportedly play a femme fatale in the movie titled Players which will be the official remake of The Italian Job.

From what we learn, the makers of the film saw the rushes of Rohan Sippy’s upcoming film Dum Maaro Dum which has Bipasha playing a Goan junkie.

Moreover, Bipasha’s spunky performance in Dhoom 2 was also in their mind.

Players will have Bipasha sharing screen space with actors like Abhishek Bachchan, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Bobby Deol.

It will be a full-on action film revolving around a heist, with loads of stunts, pyrotechnics and, needless to say, unexpected twists and turns in the plot.
