Kareena kapoor and Saif come together in KJ's movie "Qurbaan"..!..!

*Kareena kapoor and beau Saif Ali Khan will come together after Tashan once again in forthcoming flick Qurbaan.Marking Rensil D Silva’s directorial debut,the film revolves around the tragic episode of 9/11 in New York and how the lives of people around the incident changed.Answering questions on whether there were similarities between Qurbaan and recently released film New York,starring John Abraham,Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh,the director replied,I saw “New York”.The two films are similar but I did not re-shoot my film. The two films have a different interpretation of the theme (of terrorism).While “New York” is about the aftermath of 9/11,the characters in“Qurbaan”have moved on. According to me,9/11 is no more the clinching point of global terrorism.Look at what is happening to Pakistan vis-à-vis the Taliban.Global terrorism has gone much beyond 9/11. “Qurbaan” is more about the impact of extremism.The twin towers of the World Trade Centre were attacked in 2001.Today, the reality of terrorism has changed.“Qurbaan” will reflect that reality.

The movie is being produced by Karan Johar and the producer who has been getting bolder and bolder with every successive film, has introduced a love-making scene between the real-life and reel-life couple in the film. Kareena and Saif, who play a married couple, are shown in an intimate love-making scene in the film, which the director insists is critical to the story plot. He is, however, aware of audience perceptions and is afraid that the love-making scene will over shadow the strong message that the film Is intended to deliver.He says,The love-making sequence, though absolutely essential to the film is explicit and honest enough to become a focal point of interest for the audience. There’s enough sexual repression in our country. A section of the audience might decide to see the film only to see the real-life couple making love on screen. It would be tragic.

Responding to questions on how difficult it was to have the scene shot among the rest of the crew, he defensively answered,The set had been cleared of the entire crew except the director and cameraman.“It was not an easy sequence to shoot.Kareena and Saif were thorough professionals and were able to do the difficult scene so smoothly because of their comfort level.It was an aesthetic experience. And I hope the audience treats it that way.

Kareena kapoor has reportedly requested the director to delete the love-making sequence as she is conscious about her image with the release of the scene and the film.The director,however,maintains that the sequence is integral to the development of the plot of the film.Now,we’ve to wait n watch…lol!
