My film is certainly not called 'Jehad': Rensil d'Silva

January 11th, 2009 - 10:50 am ICT by IANS -
Mumbai, Jan 11 (IANS) Saif Ali Khan's films have a tendency to go nameless until the last minute.The latest is a Rensil d'Silva-directed terrorist thriller, which is produced by Karan Johar and has Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Viveik Oberoi and Om Puri in leading roles.

Nearing completion, the film has no title yet.

This week sections of the media were abuzz with reports that Rensil's film has finally found a title "Jehad".

Rensil is appalled by these reports. "Am I mad to call my anti-terrorism drama 'Jehad'? What signal will it send out to the audience? Please don't believe such rumours. 'Jehad' was a name suggested by Kareena and Saif. I am certainly not going by that title. Suddenly everyone thinks it's called 'Jehad'. Considering the current climate, that's a really inappropriate title."

So what is Rensil going to call his film?

"I've no clue. And I can't put it to public vote because that would give away the title. But it's certainly not 'Jehad'."

I certainly didnt feel jehad was inappropriate at all. It could just mean the perception that these young men are given when they embark on this wrong path of terrorism. Perhaps Saif's character utilizes the concept of Jehad to justify his wrong actions. He could use the opposite approach to prove how this concept is miused rather than to put it aside entirely.
Saif and kareena's suggestion seems pretty good to me. The title would've grasped instant attention. God Rensil, I hope you know what you're doing.

You guys dont think Jehaad would've been a catchy title? They could've used the title as the wrong perception. LIke hte movie Khuda Ke Liye.

Do you guys know what Jehaad means? Seeing that the backdrop of the movie is terrorism, it was a very relevant title.
Controvertial yes, but relevant.
