PKareena Kapoor thinks her backless shot is not implying anything 'vulgar' in the poster of 'Kurbaan'. "Kurbaan" is an intense thriller story based on terrorism. Kareena said, "This shot of me in a backless posture and Saif with a wound on his chest tell so much about the film's theme". She added, "There is love, passion and violence – all combined in here and what better way than to show it through a single still? You too would agree that there is nothing sleazy or vulgar about it. Knowing the sensibilities of Karan Johar (producer) and Rensil D'Silva (director), that's the least one could have expected". Kareena said that after her character Geet in "Jab We Met", her character Avantika in "Kurbaan" will make people sit up and notice. She said, "The girl's role has a lot of edge in `Kurbaan`, something which starts becoming more and more visible as the film unfolds. In any case the film is not one of those clichéd love stories. Every character has quite a few layers to it and Avantika, the character I play, is no exception. She is quite pivotal to 'Kurbaan'". Reportedly, she is essaying a character of a professor, who gets married with her colleague, played by Saif Ali Khan. They move to New York after marriage, but as a series of events unfold she realizes herself into a trap of danger and intrigue. She further finds herself in a pawn of a huge game and could be trusted. The actress said, "What made this role special is the fact that I play this young beautiful professor who is quite normal. She reacts to terrorism for the first time and life is never the same again for her. Actually if you ask me, then technically 'Kurbaan' is the story of this girl. She is the light of the screen. I am sure people will cry with Avantika…so strong is her characterization". After "Jab We Met", none of the Kareena's film did well at Box Office, except multi starrer "Golmaal Returns". But Kareena is very happy as she is portraying different shades of character in her films. She concluded, "'Kurbaan' has a deep-rooted love story to it, but it is not a frothy romantic film that we are time and again exposed to. The love story is much deeper here. 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". The film also stars Vivek Oberoi, Om Puri, Kirron Kher and Dia Mirza and is releasing on Nov 20.
