The $33 million movie, written by Ajey Jhankar, is a riveting tale of an impossible love set across two time periods and continents.
It is set in the backdrop of the First Anglo-Maratha War of the 18th century and revolves around four characters - a British officer in colonial India and the Indian woman he falls in love with, an American marine biologist and his researcher lover, who gets trapped in a wrecked British merchant ship.
The film will be shot in Australia and India. Bipasha will be flying to Brisbane in the first week of November. 'I am not getting much of preparation time right now. I have been given just eight days to prepare for underwater scenes and horse riding...I wish I had at least a month's time for preparation,' Bips moans
Nevertheless, she is looking forward to working with Hollywood actors. Singularity also stars Bollywood actor Abhay Deol besides Hollywood stars Chris Pine, Josh Hartnett, Olga Kurylenko, Christopher Egan and Shane Briant, among others.
Her upcoming Indian projects include Dum Maaro Dum and Abbas-Mustan's Players. Singularity is tentatively slated for a 2011 release.
