Bips says: No compromises for voice.

Bipasha Basu not ready to Compromise for her voice

Today, Bipasha Basu keeps a distinct and respectable place in bollywood. Known as most stylish and experimental actress of bollywood, Bipasha had proved her acting capabilities and talents with movies like Pooja Bhatt’s Jism, Madhur Bhandarkar’s Corporate and Mukesh Bhatt’s Razz.

Actress is very sensitive, hard working and punctual about her work..
Now if anyone asks this dusky Bengali beauty to dub her voice by someone else for her very first Bengali film, you can imagine how much it will hurt her.

Bipasha Basu’s first Bengali film Rituparna Ghosh’s Shob Charitro Kalponik in which she is playing the most special and challenging role of her career till date, is almost ready. Basu is playing role of Radhika , a Bengali house wife, who came back her home land “Kolkata” in search of her missing husband. The whole film moves around her. In this movie, for the very first time, Bipasha will appear in a non glamorous look, wearing traditional Bengali sarees and big sindoor teeka on forehead. This is one of the most awaited films of her career. But all the excitement and zeal what Bipasha had when she signed the movie is now lost. Leggy lady is not enthusiastic about release of her must awaited film. The reason is that producers of film are willing to replace Bipasha’s voice with someone else but Bips is not at all ready for this at any cost.

Bold Actress says, “When I first came to know I wouldn’t be dubbing my own voice I was furious. I’ve gone through this process of having my voice dubbed by someone else. No way will I allow this to happen to my first Bengali film. In fact one of the reasons why I waited so long to do a Bengali film was because I wanted to be sure I could carry off the lines.”

Now, Film Producers gave another twist to Bipasha saying she can do dubbing in her own voice for one print of the movie which will be sent for national award as any film cannot be submitted for national award if actor’s own voice is not used in it. But Bipasha is not ready to do dubbing for just one print.

Actress says clear cut,” I’ll not let the film be released with someone else’s voice. I know what that does to a performance. And I won’t dub only for the National Award print. I won’t dub for only one print. I want every print to have my voice.” Actress further added “When my first Bengali film releases I want people to hear my voice. I don’t want some alien voice to speak for me. I don’t care if I get awards or not. Why should I dub only for the National award? But I want my voice to be heard by audiences who know me well enough by now not to be conned by another voice.”

Now there is lots of suspense involved in this controversy, many people are making many contradictory statements. According to Director Rituparno Ghosh, if actress is willing and able to do it, she should be allowed to do dubbing. According to Bipasha also, this issue is not raised from Director, it’s from production people.

On the other hand, COO Mahesh Ramanathan says ,” we have no problems regarding dubbing with Bipasha but director Rituparno Ghosh only can tell why she should not dub in her voice.. Well, Film is almost completed but when will it hit the theaters and whether we will be able to listen Bipasha’s voice in the movie, this is still unclear.
