Tinsel villa's dusky beauty, Bipasha Basu bagged her first international project titled 'Singularity' to be directed by English-French director, Roland Joffe, whose films 'The Killing Fields' and 'The Mission' were nominated for Oscars.
Ecstatic Bipasha shared her happiness on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, “Very happy to let u all know that am doing my first english language film, SINGULARITY.Its rolland joffe's film opp. Josh Hartnett.”
Sadly, Bipasha will not be celebrating Diwali here and will be flying to Brisbane in the first week of November.
What came as a surprise is Bipasha's encounter with Joffe. Bips luckily met Joffe at Taj Land's End Hotel in Mumbai in September, and impressed by Bips personality, Joffe offered her the role.
In 'Singularity', Bips will be portraying the role of a Maratha warrior and this lucky thespian has got only eight days for the preparation of her role that requires under water scenes and horse riding.
Elated Bipasha said, “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.”
