Rensil D'Silva, who's now working on the final program of his directorial debut Qurbaan is anxious that a love-making string between Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan might become the central point of interest for his film, overwhelming the powerful theme of a terrorist's road to apology.
"That fear is there, I can't deny it.
The love-making sequence, though totally necessary to the film is open and honest enough to become a focal point of interest for the audience. There's enough sexual suppression in our country.
A section of the audience might decide to see the film only to see the real-life couple making love on screen. It would be tragic."
Kareena and Saif's love-making sequence includes the longest kissing sequence of their character careers.
So far Kareena's sister Karisma holds the record for the longest kissing sequence on screen with Aamir Khan in Raja Hindustani. Will Qurbaan break that record?
"I don't know," shrugs Rensil. "I wasn't clocking the kiss or the length of the lovemaking scene.
Nor have I seen Raja Hindustani. But I do know Kareena and Saif were systematic professionals and were able to do the difficult scene so smoothly because of their comfort level."
The set had been cleared of the entire crew except the director and cameraman. "It was not an easy sequence to shoot. It was an artistic experience. And I hope the audience treats it that way."
