For his much cherished English Project tentatively titled ‘Draupadi’, acclaimed Bengali director Rituparno Ghosh has finalised Bipasha Basu for the character of Draupadi.
Says ecstatic Rituparno, "I wanted my Draupadi to be dark and attractive. Not a sex symbol, but she had to possess the oomph factor. I could see all these qualities in Bipasha.
"My Draupadi will be more real and it will be my interpretation from a filmmaker's perspective. The story of Mahabharat is known to everyone, but I have a specific vision in my mind which I wanted to convey through my film.”
Bipasha, however, refuses to give out any details about her upcoming project till the deal is officially signed.
"Ritu and I have discussed the role and I've shown my interest in it too but I don't want to give out anymore details. It is an ambitious and complicated film. Once he is through and I sign on the dotted line, only then I will be in a position to talk about Draupadi," says Bipasha.
Ghosh is yet to finalise actors for the other roles.
We have apprised you of the reports that Shah Rukh Khan , Rani Mukherjee and Aamir Khan are starring in a film on Mahabharat. That will be an entirely different project.
