Karisma starts shooting for Dangerous Ishq

Vikram Bhatt took a single shot of Karisma Kapoor on Tuesday for his new 3D film Dangerous Ishq, and then called for packup.

It was just a shot of Karisma's hand putting a bunch of keys on the table. And then, the day's shooting was done.

The token shot -- to avoid commencement of shooting during the inauspicious shraddh period -- almost didn't happen because Vikram's 3D equipment didn't arrive on time.

"We've imported a lot of very sophisticated equipment and it took time to reach," says Bhatt, who last 3D film Haunted was a hit. "Luckily, it got here just before we were supposed to take the token shot of Karisma on Tuesday."

Explains Bhatt, "It was just a token shot since Tuesday was an auspicious day .We chose to shoot the simplest shot possible with Karisma. We will start shooting later."

This was Karisma Kapoor's first shot since she participated in the Dewaangi number in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om in 2007.
