As the tussle between love and betrayal continues - the question remains: Who will win this game - Love or Vengeance.

Rupesh Paul said: {{blockquote|text=3D appears the best format to portray classic erotica, but it was hardly experimented till recently. It had remained as a tool to give the biggest jolt in horror movies. Nobody predicted that the Chinese stereoscopic porn would be a major hit. In fact, it out grossed 3D film Avatar. In the film, we are trying to give an extra dimension to the sexual positions described in the ancient treatise on the art of love.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.news18.com/news/india/kamasutra-3d-will-sherlyn-chopra-be-replaced-589125.html|title='Kamasutra' 3D: Will Sherlyn Chopra be replaced?|access-date=9 December 2022}}</ref>}} Later in June 2016 he went against this and stated: "My film was mistaken as an erotica but it is a war film."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asianage.com/bollywood/after-3-years-kamasutra-3d-finally-see-light-day-446 |title=After 3 years, Kamasutra 3D to finally see the light of day author|last=Bhatnagar |first=Rohit |publisher=[[The Asian Age]] |date=25 June 2016 |access-date=15 October 2022}}</ref><ref name="auto"/>

The director Rupesh Paul decided to replace [[Sherlyn Chopra]], after Chopra uploaded a video clip of the photo shoot of the film on her YouTube channel without seeking his permission. He wanted to replace her with [[Eva Longoria]] or [[Mila Kunis]].<ref name="India Today Online - 05Feb2013 - Sherlyn Chopra out of Kamasutra 3D?">{{cite news|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/sherlyn-chopra-out-of-kamasutra-3d/1/248986.html |title=Sherlyn Chopra out of Kamasutra 3D?|publisher=Indiatoday.intoday.in|access-date=12 February 2022}}</ref> Chopra later apologized to him in writing, stating that she would not say or write anything about the film without the consent of the producers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/sherlyn-chopra-back-in-kamasutra-3d/article1-1017522.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130226222807/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Bollywood/Sherlyn-Chopra-back-in-Kamasutra-3D/Article1-1017522.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-date=26 February 2013 |title=Sherlyn Chopra back in Kamasutra 3D? |publisher=Hindustan Times |date=26 February 2013 |access-date=1 February 2022}}</ref>
