Bipasha Basu and husband Karan Singh Grover have been offered several projects together. But none of them could make the cut. Bipasha, who has not signed a film in almost three years now, is waiting for the right script. Our sources say that the couple is currently in talks for an interesting film.

Reveals our trade source, “Director Ankoosh, who’s making Firrkie, is planning a fantasy comedy. He wants Bipasha and Karan to do the film. He has bounced off the idea to them and they have liked it. But it’s all in initial stages of planning.”

Ankoosh confirms, “Yes, there’s a film that I want to make, which is a quirky comedy that deals with the man-woman relationship. The story deals with how the equation between a couple is before marriage and how it changes after marriage. There are a lot of things that people do for a relationship after they get married, but most of it goes unnoticed. So this will revolve around that. I wanted a real-life couple for the film, so I want Bipasha and Karan to do it. They will fit the characters really well.”

“But,” he adds, “Nothing has been finalised right now. I’m just finishing Firrkie. We need to get a producer on board and a lot of other modalities need to be worked out. No one has signed the film as well. We have just discussed it.”

When contacted, Bipasha said, “It sounds interesting and I have seen an English film like this. I would not mind it but I’m clueless about it.” She further reasons, “I have not read this script. I know Ankoosh as Karan’s director of 3 Dev and Firkee. There is a thought that Karan mentioned to me. But there is no movement on this — not at my team’s or my end. I have no information on this.”
