Unlike Tashan, Kurbaan is turning out to be one special film for Saif and Kareena.

Their pairing in the film that deals with terrorism in the US, goes beyond glamour, stardom, style and sophistication. Everyone expected him to rather downplay the kissing and love-making in the film but it came as a surprise when he asked everyone to watch him getting intimate with Kareena Kapoor.

"Yes, the intimate moments are bold and honest. Just as the action scenes are raw and bloody. And the songs, genuine and real. Or the story — brutal and shocking," he told

He's conscious of the risk of capitalising on or sensationalising the fact that Kareena and he are involved off-screen as well. Or that audiences, jaded by the knowledge they the actors know each other so well, might not find their intimacy on screen exciting enough.

"But what happens in Kurbaan," argues Saif, "is that two great actors — if I may call myself that — come together and do what they're best at. This is what Kareena and I do to earn our living. It's been widely reported on our holidays and days off... now you see it on screen."

It was earlier reported that the couple has a long kissing scene in this film produced by Karan Johar and directed by Rensil D'Silva. The poster of the film is also hot with topless Kareena facing shirtless Saif.
