Actor Bipasha Basu, who has garnered rave reviews for Rituparno Ghosh’s Sob Charitro Kalponik, says she is looking forward to do more films in her mother tongue.
“I had an amazing experience shooting for Rituparno. He is a fantastic director and he is one of the finest to explore the workings of the human mind and behaviour.
It is brilliant the way he can dissect the layers to give dimensions to a character. I am certainly looking forward to working with him,” Bipasha tells DNA.
The sassy bombshell adds, “I know of many very good directors from Bengal who are making their mark and I can see that many good Bengali films are being made.
I would want to work in a Bengali movie soon but in the ones that are different and off-beat. Rituparno is looking to make Draupadi and I hope he does it soon because that is one character I’m really looking forward to essay.”
Bipasha, whose recent release is a film set in Kashmir that explores the tension in the Valley due to politics and religion, says she has been bowled over by Rahul Dholakia, the director of movie who had also made Parzania.
Parzania, about the Godhra riots, had earned Rahul criticism from some right wing political groups who felt they were being targeted.
The film was pulled out of theatres across the nation as theatre
owners feared losses to their properties.
“His understanding of the subject is really good. Before he started shooting the film, he made sure that he had his research spot-on and all the facts were correct.
That’s commendable because a film about Kashmir is always a tricky one, given how sensitive the Valley is. He also had the guts to shoot in Kashmir and think about having a screening in Kashmir,” she says.
