Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is perhaps one of the most awaited film of 2006.

It has been deliberately been kept under wraps. Karan didn't want any pictures or details about the film to be available till the post-production was over. But thanks to paparazzi or an over-enthuthiastic fan, the pictures have been leaked and are being circulated.

Photographs and stories of films being leaked abroad are common, and even have a term — Movie Spoilers. But this is the first time it has happened in Bollywood.

Considering that there are no less than 108 pictures doing the rounds. Could it be an inside job? Are movie spoilers here to stay?

The Synopsis

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (KANK) directed by Karan Johar, centers on the budding romance between Shahrukh Khan and Rani Mukerji — both married to different people.

Rani is married to Amitabh and Shah Rukh is married to Urmila. Both the couples are settled into a life of domestic routine, and are convinced that they are happy in their respective relationships, yet the protagonists still yearn for something deeper and more meaningful, which is precisely what they find in each other.

From a relationship starting off in pleasant barbs, the two begin to develop and acknowledge the feelings they have beneath the surface. When their feelings come to the fore, what results is a collision of lives and emotions, affecting everyone involved and changing them forever.

Movie spoiler's defense to why do it?

Because sometimes, you're not allowed any access to the movie that everyone's talking about and are dying to know what the hubbub is about anyway.
