Kunal Khemu's 'Blood Money' sex scenes leak online

Sex scenes from Kunal Khemu's upcoming erotic thriller Blood Money have leaked online.

The love-making scenes from the Mahesh Bhatt film feature the former child actor with debutante Mia Uyeda, reports Hindustan Times.

Denying reports that the leak was a means of generating publicity for the project, Bhatt said: "I am upset that this is being called a leak from our end to get attention. It goes against the profile of our film."

Initial promos of the movie are said to have been met with a lukewarm response from audiences.

"These leaked images won't help the film. In fact, they will create the wrong buzz about it. They don't represent the essence of the film," Bhatt went on to add.

The actor, who appears shirtless in the leaked footage, had previously turned down a role in a Manish Gupta production that would have required nudity.

Khemu announced his engagement to 99 co-star Soha Ali Khan in January.

Blood Money is scheduled to release on March 30.
