Bipasha Basu will dye her hair for Yash Raj film opposite Ranbir Kapoor

Bipasha Basu is all set for a colour treatment for her tresses for her movie with Ranbir Kapoor. The Yash Raj project is being directed by Siddharth Anand, who earlier directed the Ta Ra Rum Pum. Bips is getting her hair coloured a dark shade of black and it is especially for her character.
The actress says, “I get bored with the colour of my hair very fast. If I wasn’t an actor I would’ve taken my hair to the realm of the bizarre!”

Hatke pairing

About the film she says, “I’m playing a much younger character. It would be very interesting to see Ranbir paired with me. He is playing something very different from Saawariya. I can’t speak about my role. But it’s a character no one will forget.”

Bipasha starts shooting with Ranbir on November 24. “It is the day after my film Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal releases. We had lots of fun doing Goal. There has been too much pressure on both John and me to be paired together. John and I have a very light, tongue-in-cheek and frothy romantic angle in Goal. Not like Jism where everything was dark and sensuous. Ours is a fun, sporty relationship in Goal. Everyone looks real.

We’ve got actual footballers in the film. It’s the story of discrimination against Asians in the UK who are passionate about football. It’s a triumph-of-the-spirit story where the outcome is known and yet audiences will find themselves hooked.”

The actress plays a medical student. “The football team doesn’t have the money to hire a qualified doctor. My character Rumana is persuaded to take the job. It’s a simple character. John plays Sunny who isn’t aware of his cultural roots. I’ve met boys like him in the UK. But the film is actually about celebrating football.”

Bipasha now wants to do an adventure-sports film. “I don’t get to play in Goal. But I’d love to do a film where I get to go on the field.”

Days of the Taj

About the Taj Mahal film with Ben Kingsley, she says, “That won’t be on until August-September 2008. The script is now being readied. I need to do a period film as I have never done one before. But I like the way my career is going. No regrets. I feel very comfortable with where I am.”
