Bipasha Basu seems to have become the common face of horror films. After “Raaz 3″, she will be seen next in Suparn Verma’s “Aatma”.

“I have become the face of fear. I don’t mind being a trend setter. Horror is a genre of entertainment and if it has the producers and the audience, then why not,” she said at the launch of the first look of the film held here Monday evening.

Basu added that it was the script and screenplay of the film which attracted her to take it up.

“While I was listening to the narration, I thought the film would be fabulous. The script and screenplay attracted me,” she said.

Directed by Suparn Verma, the film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui opposite Bipasha Basu.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, whose “Gangs Of Wasseypur” will be premiered at the on going 65th Cannes International Film Festival, says he is still unsure what convinced Manoj Bajpayee to say yes for the film.

“This film is based in North India and required actors who understood the language and the region. I have worked a lot with Manoj and his name cropped up in my mind first. I was sure that only Manoj can essay this role of Sardar Khan but we had not talked to each other for a long time,” the 39-year-old said here Thursday at a promotional event of the film about the coal mine in Jharkhan.

Anurag Kashyap describes his upcoming film “Gangs of Wasseypur”, to be released in two parts, as a desi drama with loads of fun and songs.

“The film is based on true stories of Wasseypur and is a very ‘desi’ film. We did most of the shooting in a place near Wasseypur. We wanted to capture the shots naturally, so we hid the camera,” said Kashyap Thursday. He was speaking at theatrical trailer release of the crime thriller.

The film is about the coal mafia in Dhanbad and the star cast includes Manoj Bajpai, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Syed Zeeshan Quadri and Richa Chadda. The film will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in the Directors’ Fortnight section.
