Karisma Kapoor’s comeback film ‘Dangerous Ishhq 3D’ releasing on 11 May
NEW DELHI: ‘Dangerous Ishhq‘, the comeback film of ‘Biwi no. 1‘ Karisma Kapoor, is to be released globally on 11 May in both 2D and 3D.
Director Vikram Bhatt told indiantelevision.com that a total of 700 prints will be released in 2D and around 330 in 3D.
The mystery thriller which is based on past life regression has been produced by Reliance Entertainment, DAR Motion Pictures (A Division of DAR Media) and BVG Films (A Division of ASA).
It is the second film in India to be shot in stereoscopic 3D using state of the art technology and a leading international technical crew after the success of Haunted- 3D in 2011 which was also directed by Vikram Bhatt.
Others in the cast are Jimmy Shergill, Rajneesh Duggal, Divya Dutta, Sameer Kochar, Gracy Singh, and Ruslaan Mumtaz.
Addressing a press meet here earlier, Bhatt said he also been influenced by the book Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr Brian Weiss.
He said the film was drawn from the experiences of his own life. “I had a tryst with emptiness that took me on to the path of spirituality and the search for answers. I studied psychic meditation and then slowly the art of regression into past lives. I know that all this sounds like a lot of nonsense to the people who won‘t believe but to someone like me who has been through the fire of that experience there is no turning back.”
Asked about the casting of Karishma, he said he had approached her a long time earlier – before his film ‘Haunted‘ – but she had consented just last year.
Karishma said the story had fascinated her and it had been a challenge to play many roles and speak five different dialects in one film.
She indicated that this was not a one-film foray on her return to Bollywood and she was considering other offers.
Duggal who had also appeared in a main role in ‘1920‘ by Vikram Bhatt said he had felt nervous initially about acting with Karishma, but she put him at ease.
Dangerous Ishhq 3D is the story of Sanjana (Karisma Kapoor) – a super model – and Aditya (Rajneesh Duggall), the son of a big industrialist, who vanishes under mysterious conditions. The film is Sanjana‘s tryst with destiny – her journey into the past to save her future.
The film has music by Himesh Reshammiya, lyrics by Sameer and Shabbir Ahmed, written by Amin Hajee and dialogues by Girish Dhamija. The director of photography Pravin Bhatt captures over 500 years of Indian history in 3D and Abbas Ali Moughal heralds the action.

Rajesh Ramaswamy exits The Script Room to focus on filmmaking journey
Ad filmmaker steps away from own venture to pursue direction and storytelling
MUMBAI: In a move that has caught the attention of the advertising and creative community, Rajesh Ramaswamy has announced his exit from The Script Room, the company he co-founded, marking the end of a seven-year stint at the helm.
The decision, which came into effect earlier this month, signals a shift in focus for Ramaswamy, who is now looking to immerse himself fully in filmmaking and direction as an independent creative.
Known for blending sharp advertising insight with storytelling craft, Ramaswamy has been instrumental in shaping The Script Room into a creative hub that delivered campaigns, branded content, and original storytelling formats. Over the years, the company collaborated with agencies, directors, and a wide network of writers, while also experimenting with formats such as short films and web series.
Sharing his thoughts on the transition, Ramaswamy indicated that the move is driven by a desire to focus and explore stories he has been developing over time. While he acknowledged the unconventional nature of stepping away from one’s own venture, he also framed it as a necessary leap toward clarity and creative pursuit.
Importantly, The Script Room will continue its operations with its current team and leadership, with Ramaswamy expressing confidence in the group that helped build the company’s identity. The studio, he noted, remains well-positioned to evolve further with fresh talent and ideas.
His exit also reflects a wider industry trend, where experienced advertising professionals are increasingly transitioning into independent filmmaking, tapping into the growing opportunities across digital and long-form content platforms.
As Ramaswamy steps into this new phase, the move underscores a familiar creative instinct, sometimes, the boldest ideas begin with a clean break.
