From
a
long
time
Karisma
Kapoor
aka
Lolo
was
awaiting
for
a
good
script
to
come
her
way
and
make
a
smashing
comeback
like
her
other
counterparts.
Luckily
she
got
one
in
Producer
Bunty
Walia's
forthcoming
project
Lamha.
Karisma
was
also
equally
excited
about
this
new
project
until
the
director
of
the
film
Lamha
Rahul
Dholakia
told
her
that
he
wanted
to
shoot
the
film
in
Kashmir.
Given
the
unrest
in
the
valley,
Karisma
expressed
her
inability
to
shoot
in
Kashmir
and
opted
out
of
the
project.
But
there
is
no
stopping
to
the
project,
as
it
is
learnt
that
the
makers
have
approached
Bipasha
Basu
to
play
the
role
which
Karisma
was
to
play
earlier.
And
Bipasha
has
also
given
her
nod
for
the
same.
When
Bipasha
heard
about
the
script
she
readily
agreed
to
be
part
of
it
and
also
to
shoot
in
Kashmir
valley.
Well,
till
date
we
have
seen
Bipasha
portraying
sexy,
urbane
and
glamorous
characters.
Lamha
will
be
her
first
movie
where
we
will
discover
a
complete
new
avatar
of
Bipasha,
as
the
sultry
siren
will
play
a
Kashmiri
girl
in
this
flick.
Apart
from
Bipasha,
Sanjay
Dutt
will
be
seen
in
the
main
lead
and
actor
Kunal
Kapoor
has
also
been
roped
in.
As
per
the
reports
the
shooting
of
the
movie
will
soon
commence
in
Kashmir.
Meanwhile
the
actress
is
relishing
over
the
success
of
her
2
back-to-back
films
this
year
Race
and
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno.
