Bipasha is Racing!

Race has so far proved to be the biggest blockbusters of 2008 and Bipasha is one woman who seems to be on cloud nine. However, Race’s success hasn’t calmed down the dusky actor as she is working round the clock to keep up her success rate high!

Soon after actively participating in the massive promotional activities of Race, Bipasha left for Australia to shoot for Siddharth Anand’s ‘Bachna Eh Haseeno’ along with Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba. The film has also been shot in Venice and other European locales. The film’s shoot is still on! If extensive travelling for Bachna was not enough, Bipasha chose to travel to Bangkok to shoot for her next venture with Neil Nitin Mukesh. Phew! Bips will be seen juggling two films at a time.

Bipasha’s stamina and never say die spirit has to be appreciated as where her male co-star– Ranbir chose to sit back and take rest in the break of Bachna’s shoot, Bipasha did otherwise.

“I am currently shooting for my film Freeze with Neil in Bangkok and Eros is producing the film. My shoot for Bachna is also on and I’ll be back to Mumbai only in June”, replied Bipasha through an SMS.

Where the rest of Bollywood’s heartthrobs choose to go slow and steady after they deliver a hit at the box-office, Bipasha is one actor who is in no mood to go slow and look back!

We hope Bipasha’s hard work pays and her success streak continues...

Bipasha in Bangkok!

Bipasha is currently shooting in Bangkok’s scorching heat for Freeze.

She can’t help but joke at the irony of it all. Bips says, “I suggested the film should be titled Melt instead.” Bips has been constantly shooting in contrasting climates for the past three months. She adds, “I was first shooting in the freezing cold in Italy for Siddharth Anand’s Bachna Ae Haseenon after which I joined John and the unit of Dostana in Miami for three days. The weather there was extremely sunny but I had a blast. What do you expect with two pranksters like Abhishek and John around?” She’s more to say, “I don’t know how I’ve survived so many climate changes in the last three months.”

Does it have to do with her co-stars – the handsome Ranbir Kapoor and Neil Mukesh? Says Bips, “Yeah maybe. I’ve been very lucky with my co-stars. In the last two months, I’ve worked with Ranbir and Neil. Ranbir is super-cute and we got along like a house on fire. As for Neil, we’re both Capricorns, and like me, Neil is extremely organised.” Bips tells us that Neil’s gentlemanly streak is a common Capricorn trait. Commenting on Bachna Ae Haseenon being Ranbir’s film, Bips says, “I’m one of the protagonists in the film. Otherwise I wouldn’t do it. My days of doing decorative roles are over. There would be no story without my character in the film.”

Neil Mukesh to make his singing debut in Freeze

After leaving an indelible imprint as an actor with his debut film Johnny Gaddaar, Neil Nitin Mukesh is all geared up to follow the footsteps of his grandfather and father by making his debut in singing in Jehagir Surti's thriller, Freeze.

Sounding modest about his singing abilities, Neil said that he is nowhere close to his grandfather or father but can carry his notes very well. He further added that though he admires the singers in his family a lot, he has been a fan of Kishore Kumar's style of singing.

Neil however, was never in the favour of stepping into professional singing and wanted to create a niche for himself in acting. But despite all the intentional efforts to stay away from singing, he feels destiny has played a big role in bringing him to the recording studios.

Freeze which also stars Sophie Chodhry is being made under the banner of Eros Entertainment.
