Rensil D'Silva, who's now working on the final schedule of his directorial debut Qurbaan is afraid that a love-making sequence between Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan might become the central point of interest for his film, overshadowing the powerful theme of a terrorist's road to atonement.
Won't deny it
"That fear is there, I can't deny it.
The love-making sequence, though absolutely essential to the film is explicitu00a0 and honest enough to become a focal point of interest for the audience. There's enough sexual repression 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."

So faru00a0 Kareena's sister Karisma holds the recordu00a0 for the longest kissingu00a0 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 oru00a0 the length of the lovemaking scene.
Nor have I seen Raja Hindustani. But I do know Kareena and Saif were thorough 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 tou00a0 shoot. It wasu00a0 an aesthetic experience. And I hope the audience treats it that way."
