After
having
lost
oodles
of
weight,
Bipasha
Basu
has
gained
oodles
of
sex
appeal.
So
much
so,
that
she's
looking
positively
divine
in
a
bikini
in
the
promos
of
Sanjay
Gadhvi's
Dhoom
2
(it
plays
before
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna's
screening
at
the
theatres).
Shaped
up!
Shot
in
Brazil,
South
Africa
and
India,
Dhoom
2
is
a
stylised
action
flick
with
bikes,
babes
and
beaches.
Produced
by
Yash
Raj
films,
it
also
seems
like
it's
the
war
of
the
bikini
babes.
The
buzz
is
that
even
Aishwarya
Rai
has
worn
a
bikini
in
the
film,
but
the
promos
only
have
the
sizzling
Bipasha
on
the
beach.
We
catch
up
with
Bipasha
in
New
York,
and
she
laps
up
the
praise
saying,
"Thanks
for
the
compliment."
Bipasha
won't
say
much
about
her
role
in
the
film
because
she
is
bound
by
a
confidentiality
contract,
but
says,
"I
can't
talk
about
the
film
right
now,
but
it's
definitely
something
I
have
enjoyed
playing."
Character
driven
She's
wearing
a
bikini
in
a
film
for
the
first
time.
"If
one
has
the
figure,
one
should
be
able
to
carry
off
a
bikini.
I
have
worked
hard
at
it," says
Bipasha.
Any
special
preparations
before
she
turned
into
a
beach
babe?
"Yes,
I
toned
up
my
body.
From
now
on,
I
have
decided
that
I
will
work
on
my
body
according
to
the
characters
I
play.
If
it's
an
Indian
character,
then
I
won't
work
so
much
on
my
muscle
tone.
For
an
urban
girl's
role,
I
will
work
on
my
body
and
tone
up
my
muscles,"
she
says.
"If
I
need
to
put
on
weight
for
a
role,
I
will
do
that
too.
Like
in
Abbas-Mustan's
film
I
have
two
looks
-
one
with
short
hair
and
the
other
long.
I
have
decided
to
work
on
only
one
film
at
a
time
and
fulfill
the
needs
of
the
character."
