Is pitted against four actors in Abbas Mustan's Players, where she plays a modern-day warriorWho will play Bipasha Basu's co-star in Abbas-Mustan's Players? Theu00a0 directors are not telling. And since her role didn't originally exist in The Italian Connection, which has inspired the Indian remake, Bipasha who is currently shooting in Goa, is content being paired with all four male leads.
"Abbas and Mustan have done this to me in the past too. In my first film, Ajnabee, I wasn't too sure who my co-star was. Was it Akshay or Bobby Deol? Then in Race, I was flirting with both, Saif and Akshaye Khanna.
Now in Players, there's Abhishek, Bobby, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Omi Vaidya. I have scenes with all of them. And I don't know who qualifies as myu00a0 bonafide co-star," laughs Bipasha.
At the moment, Bipasha is shooting for two films, and she's playing a warrior in both. There's Roland Joffe's Singularity, where she plays a warrior queen from the past. In Players, she's a modern fighter. "I'm shooting for both, and have action scenes in both. At times, I'm confused which film I am shooting for." But she admits to enjoying the process of going back in time in Singularity. "It's my first period film. Everyu00a0 time I've tried to do a period film, it has fallen through. My first film, JP Dutta's Aakhri Mughal, was supposed to be a period film. But it never took off."
Shooting in two different continents means she hardly gets to see actor-boyfriend John Abraham. "He can't join me on schedule because his father has undergone surgery. John is in and out of the hospital. He's also shooting for Nishikant Kamat's film."
