Even as Sridevi is poised for a comeback Karisma Kapoor who has finally agreed to do a feature film Dangerous Ishq has told its director Vikram Bhatt in no uncertain terms about her working methods as a responsible mother and an actresses who has several important responsibilities to look into besides acting.
Karisma met director Vikram Bhatt last week at her residence. The meeting lasted for nearly three hours. During the incisive chat Karisma discussed every aspect of her comeback film at length and with a clear-headed directness that took Bhatt aback.
She apparently told the director that she would be able to work only around her baby's daily schedules and that her favourite costume designer Manish Malhotra would be on board.
The intricate and historically-relevant costumes of the film's protagonist that take her through 5 different eras are to be researched by Nidhi Yasha who designed the costume for Bhatt's Haunted. Manish Malhotra would actually design the clothes.
But Karisma who has hardly ever worked with any other designer other than Manish Malhotra gently but firmly asked for Manish to do her clothes.
Says Vikram, "There was no compulsion to take on Manish. He is the best in the business of clothes and it'd be a pleasure and privilege to work with him. Nidhi Yasha would now be researching Karisma's clothes. Manish would actually be designing them. "
