Karishma Kapoor back again in Bollywood

Karishma Kapoor comeback in Bollywood after a long sabbatical of five years! She has signed an erotic thriller film with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt. The film is named ‘Dangerous Ishq’ and is supposed to be a 3-D flick.

“Lolo never really announced her retirement even after her marriage to industrialist Sanjay Kapur in 2003. Despite being busy with her domestic life and subsequent motherhood (daughter Samaira was born in 2005, son Kiaan Raj in 2010), Karisma has always had film offers. She has remained in circulation by signing many endorsements but has now finally given the nod to Vikram`s film. His last film ‘Haunted’ 3-D did well at the Box Office. That was the clincher for her."

Karisma had been looking to return to films for a long time and she turned on many offers that where made to her. But she has agreed to choose Vikram’s film as her comeback project.

Vikram said to a daily, “When I first gave Karisma a narration, she loved the story and the script. It`s a woman-centric film and she plays the main character. ‘Dangerous Ishq’ is a thriller based on past-life regression. We start shooting in September in Rajasthan."

"It`s a role I haven`t done before. The script is very interesting and working in the 3-D format will be a new experience for me," she said to a tabloid.
