Do Not Go ALONE.
On a windy and clear day of the Delhi winters, Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover made an appearance at the Le Meridian hotel , Connaught Place, New Delhi recently to promote their upcoming movie ‘Alone’.
The movie,which has been directed by Bhushan Patel, who has previously directed hit horror flicks like 1920:Evil Returns and Ragini MMS 2, is a remake of the Korean movie called Alone, which was remade in various other languages as well.

The story is about a love triangle between conjoined-twins,Sanjana and Anjana (characters played by Bipasha Basu) who fall in love with Kabir (Karan Singh Grover). As the story proceeds, the twins are separated but in the process of separation, Anjana dies and turns into a ghost. What leads to their separation and why Anjana turns into a ghost is what the story is all about.
“Playing a conjoined-twin was an exciting opportunity and also a challenging one. Alone is not justanother super natural film but a passionate love story which I haven’t done in a long time. One might not notice the difficulties while watching the movie but shooting as a conjoined-twin was quite difficult because you are always attached to a body double exactly like you. In my case,I was given an action double with which it was difficult to shoot since she wasn’t able to give me cues, so I had to do everything on my own. I was doing two roles in the same scene and every scene was quite dramatic. There were also scenes which were emotionally very difficult to enact.”
Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover says ‘Do not watch Alone, Alone.”
It is the first time that Bipasha would be seen as a ghost, which accordingto her, was the most difficult thing to do since there is no parameter of acting like a ghost and you have to imagine everything. “There were little inhibitions while taking up the role of a ghost but I saw rough cuts of the shots without special effects and I was surprised to see that I was convincingly scary on screen. So, I am happy that I took the chance and this challenge was worth taking.”
Talking about role of Kabir, Karan Singh Grover said, “As an actor you search and take up roles to which you can connect to or a story that makes you wanting to be a part of it. This movie is quite exciting and a lot of things are unexpected. When I watched the movie, I was happy to be a part of it and was captivated. I never thought before signing the movie that it could be a fall back for my career in Bollywood but then I really wanted to be a part of it.”

Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover agree to the fact that they both have become really good friends with each other and it was a pleasure to work with each other. Bipasha Basu further said that Karan fits aptly as a lover and is a seasoned actor who has been able to pull off romantic scenes with her. The movie is all set to release on 16th January 2015 and is produced by Kumar Mangat, Abhishek Pathak, Pradeep Agarwal and Prashant Sharma under the banner of Panorama Studios. The music is already amongst the chart busters with the music composed by Ankit Tiwari and Mithoon.
Ending the conversation, Bipasha and Karan told all our readers to not go alone to the movie but to go with a group of people because you cannot watch it alone.
