"I have never done this before," Karisma told rediff.com in May last year. "It has grey shades, but, at the same time, is very human.

Generally, our films show that everything is good in life; but not this one.

"But this is not a Shah Rukh Khan kind of Baazigar or Darr role. The film has some glamorous scenes for me," she added.

The actress, who has been missing from the big screen for quite a while now, was last seen in the television serial Karisma, which fared very poorly.

Incidentally, the delayed film saw all three stars' personal lives tumble into turmoil during the shooting.

Karisma went through a bad patch with husband Sanjay Kapoor. Amisha had a fallout with her parents over money matters. Akshay too ran into rough whether, with leaked reports of his alleged involvement with Priyanka Chopra doing the rounds.

Many thought the film would never be released.
