Kareena’s pictures from Kurbaan has sparked the controversy. These images are used in the publicity posters for the movie showing Saif Ali Khan shirtless and Kareena Kapoor’s back. Shiv Sena spoke out against the posters claiming that the pictures of Kareena Kapoor are nudes and hence obscene and offensive to Indian people. Shiv Sena spokesperson offered to send Kareena a Sari to cover up her naked back. In response to the sari comment Kareena retaliated by demanding a ‘Good One’.

The movie’s posters were released almost two weeks ago and they went almost completely unnoticed, until Shiv Sena pointed them out. Allegedly some of their activists took to the streets of Mumbai and teared down the posters. The controversy has developed immense public interest in the posters and now ever one wants to see them. The publicity had been beneficial for both the Shiv Sena and the movie Kurbaan. Providing them with free air time on news tv channels all over the country.

The real life couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s upcoming movie Kurbaan is among one of the most highly anticipated projects in Bollywood. But the silly stunts to gain publicity are now making people think that the actual movie wont be as good and entertaining as the controversies surrounding it. First there were news items detailing a hot bed scene between Kareena and Saif, and now the poster controversy. Already there are pictures of a kissing scene between Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor circulating all over the web. Kurbaan which is expected to be released on 27 November will surely gain a good headstart at the box office after all this free publicity earned by controversies and rumors.
