Saif is not afraid of the protests

The protests by Shiv Sena for the so called seminude posters in Kurbaan have become a quite an intense issue.

Saif seemed unperturbed, “We aren't afraid of anything. The posters are aesthetic and has nothing to hurt anybody's sentiments. I fail to understand the hypocrisy behind such reactions.”

The much awaited movie has hit the screens today. Along with many other positive reviews to support the film, Saif added, “It communicates the difference between fundamental and moderate Muslims but at the same time, it is an intense love story. It is generously entertaining but also hard hitting.”

“I am confident that audience will receive it well.” So go and watch it folks!

Kareena draped with a saree

Shiv Sena workers tied a saree around a poster of Kareena Kapoor for the film Kurbaan. This was to express indignation over the still flashing her bare back, holding Saif.

The sainiks had visited Kareena's residence to present her a saree. However, the police deployed around her house saw to that such action are prevented. Some sources from the Sena group stated,"We objected to the posters as they showed the actress semi-nude and we found to be in very bad taste. It violates our Indian culture."

The movie, starring Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi, will release later this month. It is directed by Rensil D'Silva and is a romance set against the backdrop of terrorism. There are a lot of expectations from this on-screen cum off-screen couple. The movie is already in news for steamy love scenes between the two.
