After workling in three back to back serious films - 'Aakrosh', 'Lamhaa' and 'Pankh', Bipasha Basu would be seen in a quintessential Bollywood commercial entertainer with 'Dum Maaro Dum'. No wonder, if talks around her veer towards this Rohan Sippy film being termed as dark and edgy, Bipasha gets into a defensive mode and instead calls 'Dum Maaro Dum' as an entertaining thriller.
"Since the film deals with the menace of drugs, there is a lot of reality involved in it. However none of us ever treated 'Dum Maaro Dum' as a dark film at all. On the contrary it is a very cool stylish thriller", says Bipasha whose last thriller was 'Race' that had released exactly three years ago.
Set in Goa, 'Dum Maaro Dum' threatens to expose the drug underbelly of the country and how three stories (that of Bipasha Basu-Rana Daggubati, Prateik Babbar and Abhishek Bachchan) get intermingled with each other.
"Yes, the basic premise of 'Dum Maaro Dum' is drugs", says Bipasha who was last seen with Abhishek Bachchan in 'Dhoom 2', "This is a menace that we can't turn our face away from. People assume that due to advent of education the problem is extinct but the fact is that it is only turning out to be bigger every year. So yes, the crux of the film is a little dark but to depict that on screen, we haven't made a dark film."
Well Bipasha, we would know when the film releases all over on 22nd April.
