Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor had disclosed that they are doing a film called Jehaad with director Rensil D’Silva although the title of the film was not officially declared, however Saif-Bebo will need to eat back their words ‘coz Rensil has officially named the movie Qurbaan.
A source tells, “As soon as the title Qurbaan is made official, Karan and Rensil plan to call a press conference to correct the media perception that the movie is called Jehaad. Since Kareena and Saif used Jehaad in all their interviews, it will take some time for Jehaad to get out of the public’s mind. They have made a gripping thriller on terrorism. The narration is taut and uninterrupted by Bollywood formula like songs, dances and melodrama. Kareena and Saif have even done one of the boldest love sequences ever.
Rensil also confirmed the news, “We did consider it but it is unlikely that we will call the film Jehaad. Karan and I need to sit down and talk about it, but he has gone off to Cannes.”
Karan Johar, producer of the film was unavailable for a comment.

Aamir Khan goes to Hollywood to do his first film with Kate Winslet!
Aamir Khan is all set for his first Hollywood film and he is supposed to be paired opposite Oscar winner Titanic actress Kate Winslet. Pan Nalin will direct the film.
The film is based on Pakistani play Toba Keh Singh, a story which shows the comical side of an Indian mental asylum in 1947, during partition of India.
If Kate Winslet rejects the role, then Pan will approach Mummy actress Rachel Weisz for the role of Dr Sophie.
Nalin tells, “Either Kate or Rachel will be doing my film. I will be meeting both of them after my Cannes trip to finalise the casting. Either of them will be able to do justice to this marvelous story.”
Pan has already impressed Aamir with his script, which will show Aamir has a mentally retarded person in the asylum.
Himesh learns Acting!
After realizing that better understanding of characters is a much needed requirement for acting, Himesh Reshammiya has turned over a new leaf in his career. He has now started attending acting workshops before beginning to shoot for every movie of his, most recently being ‘Radio’, a film which he signed last month. He is doing so in order to grasp the graph of his character and perform with a lot more ease.
Verifies Himesh Reshammiya who showed an improvement as an actor in ‘Karzzzz’ when compared to his debut film ‘Aap Ka Surroor - The Moviee’ (even though box office returns of the former weren’t quite encouraging), “Yes, the character of Vivan that I play in ‘Radio’ is such that I thought of doing some serious workshops with theatre actors. I am feeling on the top of the world to perform in front of the camera now. The workshop has helped me loosen up further.”
This is not the first time though that Himesh has indulged in attending a workshop. Even for Studio 18’s ‘Ishk Unplugged’ (which is directed by Swapna Joshi and written by Subrat Sinha), he had participated in a workshop before embarking in the actual shoot.
Tells a source close to Himesh, “Isshaan is giving a realistic touch to ‘Radio’, which is basically a romantic comedy. Since the movie doesn’t require any pretence, Himesh was sure that he wanted to be a part of some serious workshops. He is dead serious about his career as an actor and is giving it his all to get his future films going.”
In ‘Radio’, Himesh Reshammiya plays a radio jockey. To be produced by Ravi Agarwal, ‘Radio’ would be directed by Isshaan Trivedi, the young film maker who made ‘7 1/2 Phere’ [Irrfan Khan, Juhi Chawla] four years back and is ready with Jimmy Sheirgill-Arbaaz Khan-Nauheed Cyrusi starrer ‘Bachelor Party’.
Himesh adds, “Henceforth I will be doing workshops for every film, like I did for ‘Ishk Unplugged’ and the one I am doing for ‘Radio’. I have completed the shooting of ‘Ishk Unplugged’ in a 65 day non stop schedule and now realize how much the workshops have helped.”
In the meantime, the year to follow would see his other two movies ‘A Love Issshtory’ and ‘Kajraare’ also releasing soon, hence making it four in a row for him.
