Photo: Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan in Kurbaan poster

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).

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan's wedding: YES! NO! YES!

This is getting a bit confusing though. At one end there is Saif Ali Khan saying that marriage in on the cards, and on the other, Kareena Kapoor going blue in the face saying that she has no plans of getting married in the near future and if Saif respects her he will wait for her.

Crossed wires, wishful thinking on Saif Ali Khan’s side, or coyness on Kareena Kapoor’s part?

Or is momma Babita afraid that her daughter will lose out on interesting roles once she is married? Somebody should tell her that she should stop living vicariously through her daughters.

Whatever the case may be, the besotted Saif Ali Khan has said that Kareena Kapoor will accompany him to the village of Pataudi, to be with his parents, this winter. Saif also reminded us that Kareena is the love of his life, as though he ever let us forget.

Saif Ali Khan was earlier married to actress Amrita Singh in 1991, when he was only 21 years old. They divorced in 2004. After the divorce, Saif date Rosa Castalano for a bit. The two broke up in 2007.

Saif Ali Khan has two kids, Sara and Ibrahim, who live with Amrita Singh.

Hum saath saath hai!

In 2004, when Saif Ali Khan divorced Amrita, Kareena Kapoor started a relationship with Shahid Kapoor. The two were together till 2007, and parted ways just after they finished filming Jab We Met. The movie was a mega hit, Kareena Kapoor walked away with the Best Actress Filmfare award, and Shahid Kapoor, despite a sterling performance, was ignored by the critics and his lady love.

Now that Saif has announced the wedding, and if the wedding does happen soon, I can only hope it does not attract the kind of unrelenting frenzy the Abhi-Ash wedding inspired till one was ready to gag.

But there is a good chance, the madness will not touch dizzying heights because the duo are here, there, everywhere. In every ad, every interview, every function, every outdoor shoot, across continents, over the seas, the two can be spied hand-in-hand.

And hopefully, everyone’s had enough of Tweedledum and Tweedledee. I, for one, am pretty close to hurling something at the TV screen when these two pop up kootchie kooing without pause.
