Bipasha Basu made her Bollywood debut with Abbas-Mustan’s thriller Ajnabee. The film also starred Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Bipasha was appreciated for her performance in the film and even won Filmfare Award for Best Debut Female.
On 21st September 2019, the film completed 18 years of its release which means even Bipasha completed 18 years in Bollywood. She took to Instagram to thank everyone for this journey.
The actress posted, “18 years ago our film industry accepted me with open arms with the release of #ajnabee ... and the audiences accepted me in their hearts so lovingly. I am so grateful for this amazing journey of life through my films and I am so proud of myself that I stayed true to who I am ,no matter what... achieved all on my terms only.

In these 18 years Bipasha has given some fantastic performances in movies like Raaz, Jism, No Entry, Corporate, Dhoom 2, Race, Raaz 3, Alone and others. Its been four years we have seen her on the big screen, but the actress is all set for a comeback with a film titled Aadat which also stars her hubby Karan Singh Grover.
Bipasha and Karan met on the sets of Alone and love blossomed between them. The two tied the knot in 2016 and their social media PDA always gives us couple goals.
Production houses confirm three-way collaboration between Mehta, Pellissery, and Rahman
Film currently in casting stage with shooting planned later this year
Pellissery's track record suggests an unconventional take on the romance genre
Rahman returns to work with Mehta after their Gandhi series collaboration
Project marks Pellissery's first major crossover into Hindi film circles
Wait, read that again. Hansal Mehta's production is backing a romantic drama from Lijo Jose Pellissery. And AR Rahman? He's building the entire soundscape for it. The combination feels almost unreal, right? It's like three separate rivers of filmmaking talent suddenly crashing into one project.

What's the actual plot of this pellissery film?
They're keeping story details locked down tight. The official line calls it a "lyrical exploration of love," which sounds nice but means very little coming from a director known for chaotic chases and funeral processions that spiral into madness. The script comes from Pellissery and writer Karan Vyas. Given Pellissery's history, expect something raw and unpredictable rather than rose-tinted. His approach to human relationships typically involves peeling back layers until things get messy.
Look at their backgrounds. Mehta built his name on biographical dramas and sharp social commentary. Pellissery operates in his own cinematic universe where conventional rules do not apply. Rahman's involvement guarantees the music will be another character entirely. Sahil Saigal from Mehta's production company called it "momentous" and for once that does not sound like empty producer talk. This feels like one of those projects that could actually shift how Indian films get made.
No confirmed release window yet; these things take time, especially with directors as particular as Pellissery. The production houses involved are Mehta's True Story Films and Amen Movie Monastery. This also marks the second time Rahman and Mehta have worked together after finishing their Gandhi series, which premiered at Toronto last year.
