International Film Project: Bipasha Basu romance with Hartnett!: Imagine the Bollywood hot sizzling actress Bipasha Basu playing a Maratha warrior from the 18th century in a film directed by Hollywood’s acclaimed Roland Joffe.

Well, that’s what the sultry bongshell is all set for. She has bagged her first international film, titled Singularity, to be helmed by the man who’s made films like the Oscar-nominated The Killing Fields and The Mission apart from City of Joy.

Set during the first Anglo-Maratha war (1775 to 1782), Singularity will feature a host of international stars like Josh Hartnett, Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, Chris Pine, Christopher Egan and Shane Briant. Abhay Deol also plays an important role.

Bipasha will play the Maratha warrior Tulaja Naik. Josh Hartnett will play a British soldier. The film is a love story between the two. Also, the film’s screenplay is set in two time zones. Believe it or not, but this role fell into Bipasha’s lap like a ripe plum. She had just a brief meeting with Joffe. Sources say he was very impressed with her voice and her personality, and offered her the role.

Bipasha will be doing underwater scenes and horse riding in the film.
