Bipasha Basu will soon be seen in a double role with a twist. In a first-of-its-kind role in a Hindi film for an actress, she will play conjoined twins in the adaptation of the Thai horror flick Alone (tentative title). In the past, real life twin brothers Raghu and Rajiv (of Roadies fame) have played conjoined twins in Tees Maar Khan.

Bipasha’s film is about a pair of twins who are conjoined before their birth and how one becomes an evil spirit while one is sweet and protective of the other. Bipasha will have two very different and distinct looks styled by Shyamli Arora. The actress says, “It’s a very challenging film because I play conjoined twins who are very similar to each other but absolutely different characters. It’s emotional, the characters are complex and layered.” She begins shooting from June 20, and is currently researching on conjoined twins. “I am studying documentaries on them.”
