Bipasha Basu excited about working in a costume drama

The sultry Bipasha Basu is keenly looking forward to work in Rajkumar Santoshi 's forthcoming film titled ‘Ashok’ because it is a costume drama.

"I'm really excited about doing the costume drama. To go back in time and recreate an era and character are challenging. And the character of Tishayraksha is certainly not uni-dimensional. I'm in the entire film. The narrative is so captivating," Bipasha is quoted as saying in a news report.

"I think Raj Santoshi is a great visionary. Look at the performances he gets out of his actors! And to cast someone like me who otherwise has such a contemporary image in the Mauryan era requires guts," continued Bipasha.

Five years ago, Bipasha was actually supposed to start her career with a Mughal costume drama, J.P. Dutta 's ‘Aakhri Mughal’, opposite Abhishek Bachchan . The project never took off.

Sighed Bipasha, " Madhur Bhandarkar , Rituparno Ghosh , Raj Santoshi... these are women's directors I've always wanted to work with. I've worked with two of them. Now hopefully I'll be working with the third."

Another costume drama on the anvil is Ben Kingsley's ‘Taj Mahal’ project.

"Again that will take some time. It's again an exciting film. I'll be transported into another era. My entire body language has to change," said Bipasha, whose Race hit the theatres this weekend.
