\"Bipasha<\/a>

Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra<\/p><\/div>\n

A true film-making pioneer who has inspired dozens of filmmakers, Charlie Chaplin couldn\u2019t resist the temptation of playing more than one role in his movies. He wrote and directed The Great Dictator, a 1940 satire of Nazi Germany. In a classic tale of mistaken identity, Chaplin played both. In 1917 Dadasaheb Phalke\u2019s \u2019 Lanka Dahan\u2019 was the first Indian movie to have an actor play a double role. In it \u2018Anna Salunke\u2019 played the roles of both Ram & Sita. In 1933 the first Indian talkie, Master Vithal\u2019s \u2018Awara Shahzada\u2019 was released. It had \u2018Shahu Modak\u2019 enacting the role of a prince and a pauper. Since then much water has flown through the bridges of Ganga, Jamuna and Gomti.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not an avid film-goer but I\u2019m listing a few multiple actors and few multiple roles that crop up from the depth of my memory whenever someone talks about multiple roles:
\nMadhumati (Dilip Kumar – Reincarnation) (Vyjantimala – Triple Role\/Reincarnation)
\nPhagun (Bharat Bhushan – Reincarnation) (Madhubala – Triple Role\/Reincarnation)
\nThree movies I liked the most: Hum Dono (Dev Anand),Ram Aour Shyam (Dilip Kumar),Seeta Aour Geeta (Hema Malini)
\nI know there is long list of films and stars I\u2019m failing to mention and I seek forgiveness for my omission. I am giving another list just to expose my knowledge or my ignorance about films:
\nMale Actor who has played the most number of roles in a single movie: Sanjeev Kumar – 9 roles
\nActor who has played double\/multiple roles in the most number of movies: Amitabh Bachchan – 13 movies
\nThe actress that fascinated and mesmerized the most with her ravishing beauty is no other but our Piggy Chops – a seductress who has proved that beauty and brain and performance can also go the same street. She is an actress who has played the most number of roles in a single movie:- 12.<\/p>\n

If Priyanka Chopra had taken away your breath with her glittering performance in \u2018What\u2019s Your Raashee?\u2019 be ready for yet another pleasant shock of a performance! It\u2019s none other than our own mishtu doyee Bipasha Basu. She will be demanding your aesthetic loyalties in her forthcoming film \u2018Pankh\u2019. She has donned 9 different looks for the film. Apart from nine different incarnations of the sensuous beauty there would a sumptuous treat of thrilling and scintillating song and dance routines.<\/p>\n

Now stop wondering why the nine looks. Each of her new look has been designed to reflect the mood of the male lead played by Maradonna. In the film, she is his imagination\u2026 his alter ego.<\/p>\n

Rest you will learn when the film is complete. Till then best of luck to you and Bipasha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
