The thriller about terrorism is due for release on November 20.You may have seen the film’s poster depicting a deep scar on the left chest of Saif Ali with Kareena revealing her bare back."There is passion romance and violence. What better way than this can you show it through a still? There is nothing sleazy about it. This is nothing in films of producer Karan Johar or director Rensil D’Silva.
That’s the least one could have expected," beams Kareena.The co-stars in the film include Vivek Oberoi,Om Puri,Kirron Kher and Dia Mirza.Kareena is Avantika,a college teacher in Kurbaan.

I am sure people will cry with Avantika,’’ declares Kareena."It’s a deep-rooted love story.There is a definite meaning, purpose and reason to it.Also,the film is quite powerful in its own way since it’s the voice of moderate Islam,"she adds.
