Bipasha basu Kashmir ki kali in Lamha Movie

Bipasha Basu, the sultry beauty of Bollywood is the surprising choice of Rahul Dholakia for his upcoming venture ‘Lamha’. Bipasha is not the light-eyed, fair skinned Sindhi beauty that goes for the ‘Kashmiri girl’ stereotype. But the determined actress has decided to look convincing.

“I want to disprove that myth. The preconceived notions have to be overcome,” she said, talking of the typical Kashmiri girl image.

And the dusky babe is taking her role very seriously. She has demanded for a native Kashmiri girl to be brought to her in Mumbai, so that she can study her. Bipasha claims that she would need to observe the true native body language, mannerism and accent. Bipasha is to learn the Kashmiri language for the role, too.

All the preparations are being made in Mumbai as Kashmir is not deemed safe by the actress to do her homework; same goes for the reason behind a Kashmiri girl being brought all the way from the valley to Mumbai.

“I want my character to be very basic - exactly like the girls are in Kashmir today. I’ve done realistic roles in Prakash Jha`s ‘Apaharan’ as well as Madhur Bhandarkar`s ‘Corporate’. But, ‘Lamha’ is something else.” Bipasha averred about her character in the flick that takes a hard-hitting look at the strife-stricken valley.

The role has added up on the interest-quotient by the involvement of Bips. Not to say of the oomph-quotient, that is bound to be there. Kashmir will soon be a hot and happening place to be when the shooting starts in October!
