Bipasha Basu does not leave any stone unturned to come up with nothing but an unmatchable performance. She has
always been the director's actor, and has garnered praises for the same. And now, director Sudipto Chattopadhyaya of
her forthcoming film Pankh has enlisted himself in the category.
Bips plays the role of a fantasy woman whom Maradona Rebello (a protagonist) conjures up in his head-a phantom who
taunts him and fights with him, an alter ego who questions his every move.
The director Sudipto can't withhold raving about Bipasha's professionalism and exclaims, "Bipasha is an epitome of
professionalism."
He recalls, "On the very first day of the shoot Bipasha was to do six minute single shot which
has loads of complexity involved. I was amazed to see her conviction to perform such a complex shot, something which
she has not attempted before as main-stream films have a maximum six second shot to perform.
She
welcomed the challenge and in co-ordination with the choreographer, her co-star and dancers, did justice to the scene.
"
As far as her role goes in the film, interestingly, Bips character loosely resembles to the character played by beau John
Abraham in Tanveer Khan's Madhoshi where she was in the shoes of Maradona.
