The talented, dusky beauty Bipasha Basu, off late, has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. From a broken relationship to various link-up reports, the leggy lass has been handling the entire controversies single handedly. Though her personal life has had some ups and downs in the year so far, the superstar has some cheer on the professional front.

After her film 'Dum Maaro Dum' had a decent success at the box-office she has now successfully completed a schedule for her upcoming film 'Players'. The film is directed by Abbas-Mastan, whom she fondly calls her mentors. The film is the Hindi remake of the Hollywood hit action caper 'Italian Job'. The film is being made on a mega budget and to give the film an international touch, it was shot in the exotic locations of Russia. It was here that Bipasha learnt a new art.

The Russians, who are proud of their own culture, speak only their language and so don't speak English. Bipasha found the place very enchanting and often raved about it on her social networking site. Not knowing to speak Russian, she was unable to communicate with the Russian people, so she communicated through signs.
