Did you know that the kiss poster of Rhea Kapoor and Varun Mitra's film Jalebi is copied from a 1950s picture from the Korean War? Read on to know more about it
The makers of
Jalebi released the first poster of the film online yesterday. Rhea Chakraborty
was seen hanging out of a train window to kiss debutante Varun Mitra. Along
with the poster, producer Mahesh Bhatt wrote: "In this changing shifting
world where the old stories have collapsed and no new story has yet emerged to
replace them, comes a story of everlasting love. Here is the #Jalebiposter
(sic)."
The poster was
indeed good looking, but there was something that kept ticking the minds of
fans. Soon enough, they realised that the pic was a copy (or as they say,
inspired) of an iconic Korean War photo. Have a look:

Talking of the iconic photo, from the Korean War, it was clicked back in the
1950s. A soldier of the 160th Infantry Regiment, who was leaving for the Korean
War, was captured by former Los Angeles Times photographer Frank Q Brown. The
soldier in the photograph is Robert Maye was kissing his wife Gloria, right
before his train was departing taking him away for the Korean War.
