The snapshots of the steamy scenes between Kunal Khemu and newbie Mia in the forthcoming film "Blood Money" recently went viral on the internet. But the leaked video which many touted to be a promotional stint for the film has irked producer Mahesh Bhatt. It was touted by many that the marketing team behind the film released the video with an intention to gain publicity for the film. But Mahesh claims to be different, "I am upset that this is being called a leak from our end to get attention. It goes against the profile of our film," said Mahesh in his justification.

He further revealed about the film and why they wouldn’t ever go for such a cheap publicity gimmick, "Blood Money is not "Murder" (2004). The story is also about claiming to be morally sound until someone tempts you. Millions of youngsters go abroad with stars in their eyes, but in the movie, Kunal’s character Kunal Kadam’s dreams turn into a nightmare. 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," added Mahesh.

The film is slated to release on 30th March 2012.
