She is known for her bold image in Bollywood, but dusky beauty Bipasha Basu will now be seen in a slew of non-commercial films like the Bengali “Shob Charitro Kalponik”, “Pankh” and “Lamhaa”. She insists she is not making any special attempts to change her image and would love to do more Bengali films if they are interesting.
“I like to do films that are entertainers, glamorous, fun, action and definitely realistic. There is no effort that I am putting towards an image change with non-commercial films. I just feel that in the Hindi film industry, where you look in a particular manner, people consider your USP as something and you get a little typecast,” Bipasha told IANS in a telephone interview from Mumbai.
“But I’m not trying to break any typecast. It’s just that within the given limitations, I’m trying to push and taste everything a little bit,” she added.
Bipasha plays a Kashmiri girl in director Rahul Dholakia’s “Lamhaa”, has a supporting role in arthouse film “Pankh’” and in her just released Bengali film debut she plays a typical sari-wearing Bengali woman.
