Rahul Bose is mighty upset with the photograph of him kissing a male co-star in a film directed by Onir being used for publicity. Rahul erupted when he saw the picture in a tabloid and has made his displeasure apparent. He told the makers that he isn’t happy about them shining a spotlight over a sensitive scene. He is irritated with the director for using sensation to sell his film.
Bose says he acted in the controversial movie thinking that the message would be handled in a sensitive manner. He feels homosexuality is still a topic that raises eyebrows and one should not try and get publicity out of it, as it can backfire and affect the film.
