Flops don’t affect Bips

[1]

Bipasha Basu is keeping her head high. Despite the fact that the promotion of Raaz 3 has created the perception of a make or break scenario for her, the dusky lady insists that she knows how to get out of a problematic situation. The actress gets chatty with us:

The year didn’t quite start on a good note for you. Players as well as Jodi Breakers flopped. That must have hurt, right?
I will tell you something (smiles). If I were badly affected by the failure of a film, I would know it from deep within. In case of both Players as well as Josi Breakers, my experience, while making them, was fantastic and that is something that I treasure the most. I didn’t have to think about the commercial outcome.

It does linger in one’s mind though, doesn’t it? After all, one needs a good success at the Box Office too.
See, the good thing is that every single person who destroyed or criticised these films said good things about me. I don’t think that there was one single review, which pulled me down. You know, there are some real bad films that I have done in the past. Still, to come out unscathed and be around for a decade is something! Guess I am a little bit lucky. I am God’s child!

Still you must have been a tad conscious about Raaz 3 especially since it’s your comeback to the Bhatt fold?
Guess what, this is one film for which I actually didn’t prepare at all. It’s not that I didn’t try to. I actually did think about that but once I was on the sets, I felt really lost. In fact I asked Vikram (Bhatt) why he wanted me to do the high intensity scenes in the first 10-15 days of the shoot. I requested him if we could start with something lighter.

What was his reply?
He just told me to go with the flow. Perhaps it was his way to get me into the groove and feel the mental trauma of the protagonist from day one. He said he has faith in me, but I was totally blank.
