RELIEVED: Bipasha Basu

Bips has security cover... by Sanju and John       With Sanjay Dutt for external affairs and John Abraham for homeland security, Bipasha Basu needs no extra security cover. We read sometime ago that despite her super toned hot body, Bips was petrified about shooting in Kashmer. In fact, the story goes that she had suddenly flown back in fear of ccrie silences and security guards overshadowing the fans on the streets. It had taken tough guy Sanju to tell her that he would be her personal body guard as well. After much persuasion, when Bipasha went back to Kashmir to complete Lamhaa, the time she exited her hotel to the time she stepped back he was always around her. Bips said, "Yes, it was all thanks to sanju that I could breathe. He would cook for us too." Though Bipasha has never been the damsel-in-distress sorts, it must definitely be a relief for her to have such reliable men around.

A STILL FROM THE MOVIE NIGHT AND DAY

MEET THE 'DREAM TEAM'      Fox Star Studios' Knight and Day releases on July 9. For those wondering why there is so much hoopia around this flick, CT gives you top five reasons, starting today, why you shouldn't miss this one.        Well, the most obvious reason is that it has Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in one film! Yes, we did see them together in Vanilla Sky, but this one truly feels like a fantasy turning into reality!Cruise has come to define kthe suave, bold, quick-witted action hero in contemporary movies (top Gun, The Mission: Impossible series) - and at the same time, earning three Academy Award nominations.(Magnolia, Jerry Maguire and Born on the Fourth of July). This time, he gets the chance to playfully upend just the kind of debonair, unflappable hero that audiences expect him to evoke. And giving him company is Cameron Diaz, looking every bit the sexy diva that she is.        Diaz's skills and deft charm have won her accolades for a broad range of roles in films like There's something About Mary, Charlie's Angels and Martin scorsese's Gangs of New York. Her character in Knight and Day is something different, a whirlwind of suspense and sexy humour that becomes an action packed portrait of a woman finding the confidence to finally let go and trust her heart.         Tom and Cameron's chemistry began simmering from the first day on the sets. "The repartee between us was just like boom-boom-boom," says Cruise. "Cameron's style of humour is unique and I love the way she can mix physical comedy with a really authentic feeling of romance." Diaz, too, found herself right away in a dynamic rhythm with Cruise. "Working with Tom is wonderful because he makes everything I do that much better. He has so much presence and energy. If you're going to do an acton movie, it doesn't get better than with Tom Cruise." she says. Talking about their chemistry, director James Mangold says, "Tom and Cameron have this incredible vibe, perhaps because they have such different styles and that makes for an amazing cinematic combo." We agree. The high voltage chemistry of Cruise and Diaz is certainly one to look out for in this flick!
