Bipasha Basu not heading to Cannes

Bollywood star Bipasha Basu says she is busy shooting for her latest film. Bollywood siren Bipasha Basu is not Cannes-bound as she's busy shooting for Race 2 and the last portion of her Western epic Singularity, starring Josh Hartnett. "Somebody seems to have jumped the gun- Cannes in May is not happening," said Basu in an interview with tabloid!. She adds that a three-week-long shooting schedule for her Western epic in which she plays a Maratha warrior is being planned for June. "After performing at this year's IIFAs [International Indian Film Academy Awards] in Singapore, I am off to the UK to finish the last leg of shoot for Singularity," said Basu, who's seen in a de-glam avatar in her international venture. "I am loving the reactions so far. Without a hint on make-up, my face is scrubbed clean and that's a novelty for many who have seen me in glamorous roles in Bollywood films," said Basu. In between her shoots, she will also squeeze in planning sessions with Bollywood choreographer Shiamak Davar to discuss details of her IIFA outing. "I have performed at the IIFAs before. But this year - I am hoping to do something different - and no fitness lessons to actors," said Basu with a laugh. From: Gulfnews
