 I have grown up on Karisma's films: Rajniesh Duggal

Highlights

  • Actor Rajniesh Duggal, who has been paired opposite actress Karisma Kapoor in Dangerous Ishq, says he is a huge fan of the actress and has grown up watching her films.
  • The 37-year-old actress is making her Bollywood comeback with Vikram Bhatt's upcoming film and Duggal, who is 60 films her junior says he is nostalgic about starring with her.
  • "I still remember being in school when she had already started working in films. I have grown up on her films like Prem Qaidi, Jigar, Deedar, Anari, Khuddaar, Gopi Kishan and Raja Babu. When I was cramming through school books, she was already making it big in the industry. Now today when she is returning after a hiatus with Dangerous Ishq, I am thrilled to be her leading man," Duggal told PTI.
  • The model-turned-actor Rajniesh, who shot to limelight with 1920 three years back said that the actress never made him feel like a newcomer and helped him rehearse his dialogues.
  • "She is a pleasant personality who strikes a good balance between being a professional and a comfortable co-actor. She never came with any baggage or something. We rehearsed and spent time in understanding our scenes. I have seen that for Karisma, all that matters is how to perform in front of the camera," he said.
  • Right from the day it was announced Dangerous Ishq has been pitched as Karisma's comeback film but Duggal says his role in the film is equally important.
  • "It is obvious that Dangerous Ishq is a Karisma centric film but I too have a very important role in the film. After all it is that of a main male lead in the film. Once I took the narration, I knew that this role would get me a lot of things. I can trust Vikram sir if he feels I am the right fit for this role," he said.
  • Dangerous Ishq is a romantic thriller in 3D and Duggal says one can expect a lot of thrills and suspense.
  • "There is a lot of drama and certain stunning revelations. There is a lot of suspense here with good elements of thrill. Since the film has been shot in 3D, the thrill element takes a different preposition altogether," Rajniesh said.
  • The film also stars Divya Dutta, Jimmy Shergill and will hit the theatres on May 11.
