Bipasha Basu: 'Players cast bonded in North Pole'

Bipasha Basu has revealed that the cast of her latest film Players bonded in the North Pole.

The actress takes on the role of a talented mechanic in the Indian update of the classic 1960s film The Italian Job.

Basu told Hindustan Times: "I never thought I'd get a chance to go to the North Pole. It's not your usual holiday destination because of the extreme weather.

"The temperature was below freezing point and in June we had 22-hour days with the sun setting after midnight and rising again a couple of hours later.

"It was all work, some play and lots of talk, with us sharing details about each other's lives. Our favourite [game in the hotel] was a punching game. Bobby [Deol] would win hands down while I was the worst. I may look strong but my punches lacked power."

Basu added that despite her role, she still does not know how to park or reverse a car.

In December, the Dum Maaro Dum star said that she was pleased she was convincing in the part, despite her lack of knowledge about cars.
