Bipasha to play herself in Pankh

After Bobby Deol playing himself in Nanhe, it's now Bipasha's turn to do the same. The sensuous actress is all set to act in a socially relevant film named Pankh.

The film which is directed by Sudipto Chattopadhyay is based on a true story of a child actor Ahsaas Channa, who has played key roles in films like Vaastu Shastra. Apparently Ahsaas, a girl by birth was passed of by her mother as a boy only to get her roles in television commercials. Ahsaas was also seen in Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.

Director Sudipto will cast a newcomer Maraddona to play Ahsaas's character in the film.

But the real attraction in the movie is going to be Bipasha Basu who is thrilled about her role in the film. She plays a Bollywood actress whom the kid is completely smitten by.
