Om Puri has revealed that he plays a "terrorist mastermind" in Rensil D'Silva's Kurbaan.
Puri also declared that he is confident that audiences would be able to distinguish between his on-screen persona and real life.
He told Bollywood Hungama: "I'm aware of the repercussions. I'm also aware other actors turn down parts of terrorists. But I've no such reservations.
"We cannot be moral and judgmental about the characters we play. In Kurbaan I play the terror mastermind, a fully committed jehaadi who is ready to sacrifice everything including his wife (Kirron Kher) for the cause."
Kurbaan, which is scheduled for release on November 27, also stars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
