Bipasha Basu Shows Her Dare-Devilry
This Friday’s release Race has Bipasha Basu doing some extremely risky stunts.
When it comes to showing her spunk, Bips is not behind men. While the film’s leading men – Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna – did dangerous stunts for ‘Race’, Bipasha, too, did a very risky scene that could have cost her dearly.
The sultry actress ran just meters away from an exploding car for an action sequence in the film.
The sequence shows Bipasha in her BMW, being chased by a killer. When her car gets stuck and she sees the killer driving at full hilt to ram into her car, Bipasha leaves her vehicle just in the nick of time. The killer rams into her car and it explodes and is blown into the air.
The scene was shot under the guidance of experienced action director Allan Amin. But there was a genuine risk that the blown car might land on Bipasha during the scene.
Initially, Allan thought that Bipasha might not agree to do the scene, considering the risk involved. But the actress was game for it.
Before the scene Allan took every possible precaution. The scene also needed to be canned in a single shot.
Everyone on the sets was nervous before the shot. Bipasha was just 20 steps away from the car that was to be blown into the air. Director duo Abbas-Mastan called ‘action’. Bipasha ran. The car exploded. It flew over Bipasha’s head and landed some distance away.
Thankfully, the actress was safe and the shot was ‘okayed’.
Bipasha says she isn’t really scared of doing risky stunts. The only thing that haunts her is the fear of heights.
Well, she is already at a high place in Bollywood. Aren’t you Bips.
