Mumbai, April 23: Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are presenting a joint front these days on a funny issue. The problem concerns their upcoming film, which they insist on calling ‘Jehad’ but producer Karan Johar and director Rensil D’Silva deny it, saying the film is nameless.
The love-birds are giving interviews about the film, referring it as ‘Jehad’ but Rensil is adamant. "No way would I allow my film to be called Jehad. It means holy war and would send out the wrong signal about my film`s intentions. Jehad was a name suggested by Kareena and Saif. I am certainly not going by that title. Considering the current climate, that`s a really inappropriate title."
Producer Karan Johar seems to be vexed over, the duo’s attitude, "I don`t know why Kareena and Saif insist on calling the film ‘Jehad’. We don`t even have the rights for that title. We`d have to first acquire the rights. I`m not in favour of the title. But the release is approaching and the baby is still without a name."
Sadly, Rensil cannot show the film to friends to get a suitable title. "If we do, we give away the plot. And I don`t want to do that under any circumstance."
It’s curious why, Saif-Bebo are sticking to an unsuitable name like ‘Jehad’. They should not think of ‘Jehad’ and leave the director-producer duo in peace.
