Kurbaan was helmed by Renzil D'Silva and released in 2009. The story of the film revolved around a woman who becomes aware that her neighbours are terrorists. The film featured Kareena Kapoor Khan as Avantika, Saif Ali Khan as Ehsaan Khan a.k.a Khalid, Late Om Puri as Bhaijaan, Dia Mirza as Rehana, and Vivek Oberoi as Riyaz Mansoori in the pivotal roles.
