Bipasha Basu sees a big release in the form of 'Players' and she has reasons to be excited. While this is yet another film that reunites her with director duo of Abbas-Mustan (Ajnabee, Race), not many are aware that it also marks the completion of one decade for her in the industry. It was in September 2001 that 'Ajnabee' had released and exactly 10 years down the line, she is reuniting with Abbas-Mustan as well as her co-star Bobby Deol in the film.

"All I can say is that audience has been quite gracious to have accepted me as an actor. Frankly, I have learnt it all on the job. Otherwise when I started off in 'Ajnabee', I was pretty much a lost child. I have grown from that point on and am far more responsible today", says Bipasha while reflecting on the decade gone by, "I stepped into films just for the fun of it because I had got bored of modelling. I didn't have any clue what acting was all about and it is to credit of Abbas-Mustan that they held my finger and guided me throughout."

Their confidence in the actress is pretty much evident from the fact that she stays on to be their favourite film after film. While they have also repeated her in 'Race 2', she was also the leading lady in their 'Mr. Fraud' which unfortunately never get completed. However the bond between the trio has only thickened over the decade gone by.

"Abbas-Mustan are really very forward thinking directors. They not only devise innovative plotlines but also think out of the box when it comes to execution. Really, they are so advanced and their ideas are ahead of the times. 10 years back who could have imagined a film on wife swapping (Ajnabee)", she questions.
