Ishq Vishk released in 2003, and featured Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao in the lead.
Shahid Kapoor had made his acting debut with the 2003 coming-of-age romcom Ishq Vishk, and the film made him an overnight star.

Life Ho Toh Aisi! and John Matthew Matthanâs Shikhar. Reports of Ishq Vishk 2 have been doing the rounds for a while now, and Pinkvilla has learnt that this much awaited sequel is back on track.Â
âProducer Ramesh Taurani is extremely excited about Ishq Vishk, and his writers have already begun work on the script. Development on it had been halted for a while because of the pandemic and a few other projects that were already in the pipeline. But work on the second part has begun once again, and Mr Taurani will start looking for a director and the actors as soon as the final script is locked,â informs a source close to the development.Â
Besides Shahid and Amrita, Ishq Vishk had also featured Vishal Malhotra, Shenaz Treasury, Neelima Azeem and Satish Shah, among many others.Â
