In the poster a grim and bare chested Saif Ali Khan, six pack and all, looks at Kareena Kapoor, rather intensely, with what seems to be a bullet hole in his chest.

The movie that stars Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Om Puri, Vivek Oberoi, Diya Mirza, and Kiron Kher will be released on November 27, 2009.

Rensil D’silva has described Kurbaan as a romantic thriller set against the backdrop of terrorism.

Recently, Om Puri had revealed that he plays the role of a terrorist mastermind in the movie.

Bollywood Hungama quoted the actor as saying, “I’m aware of the repercussions. I’m also aware other actors turn down parts of terrorists. But I’ve no such reservations. We cannot be moral and judgmental about the characters we play.”

He said that the plays fully committed jehaadi who does not stop short of even sacrifiing his wife ( played by Kiron Kher) for the cause.

Rensil D’Silva has written the screen play of Kurbaan. Karan Johar has been credited with the story.

Rensil is the scriptwriter of Rang De Basanti (2006), Luck (2009), and the upcoming Raavan (2010).

As we had reported earlier, Dharma Productions has entered into a tie-up with UTV for the distribution of Kurbaan and Wake Up Sid (October 2, 2009).

Dharma Productions’ forthcoming releases include Shahrukh Khan’s My Name is Khan (February 2010), and the animated flick Koochie Koochie Hota Hai (2010).
