Kites has been withdrawn from theatres!

Heartbreak for all the Hrithik Roshan fans in Karnataka as his latest movie Kites has been withdrawn from theatres after a call of boycott by the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC).

Reason? KFCC accuses producer Rakesh Roshan of flouting the norms of the release of non-Kannada films in the state.

 

According to the norm, ‘Kites’ was given a special permission to release on 24 theatres, but exhibitor Big Cinemas planned to release it on 46 theatres. Normally, non-Kannada films are allowed release only on 21 theatres.

 

A meeting was called on Thursday to find a solution, but producer Rakesh Roshan gave it a miss.

 

KFCC President Basant Kumar Patil is quoted as saying: “There was a meeting but Rakesh Roshan did not turn up. But we are the supreme body and they can't violate the norms.”

 

In the past, Hindi films like 3 Idiots and My Name Is Khan have released in Karnataka in less than 24 theatres.

Hrithik Roshan bowled over by Barbara’s sex appeal!

A lot of tongues have wagged and a lot of newsprint has been consumed by the rumours linking Hrithik Roshan to his Kites co-star Barbara Mori. But both of them remain unperturbed by the gossip.

If Barbara has said that she’s used to being linked with her co-stars back in her home country Mexico as well, Hrithik has clarified that his wife Sussanne knows the truth and that is all he cares. In fact, Hrithik doesn’t mince words in praising Barbara to heights.

 

In a latest interview, he goes on to say that he was bowled over by Barbara’s “vulnerability and dignity” when he saw her first film.

 

“...I was completely bowled over. She has a lot of sex appeal as well. And that is a lethal combination!” Hrithik is quoted to have said.

 

‘Kites’ premiered at the AMC Empire in Times Square on Sunday night. The premiere was attended by Hrithik, Barbara, director Anurag Basu, producer Rakesh Roshan, music director Rajesh Roshan and film celebs like Karan Johar and Mira Nair.

Barbara Mori goes topless!

With the promos of Hrithik-Barbara starrer ‘Kites’ finally out, one finds a clear difference between the Indian and the English version (read US) of the film.

While the Indian version shows a modest flirting scene between the lead pair, the English version airs a topless Barbara, sharing a passionate lip lock with Hrithik Roshan.

 

It is believed that the Hindi version is made while keeping in mind the local sensibilities while the English version of ‘Kites’, which is edited by Bret Ratner is only ninety minutes longer in comparison to the one-thirty minutes long original version of ‘Kites’, releasing worldwide on 21st May.

 

Talking to a news daily about the US version and Bret Ratner, a close Hollywood trade analyst said, "Ratner`s reputation couldn`t be anything further from the Bollywood norm. He`s known for movies full of fast cars, fast women, and big explosions. Subtlety isn`t his thing. ‘Kites’ hits theatres thanks to Brett Ratner."

 

However, when contacted Rakesh Roshan, the ‘Kites’ director blankly denied any such reports and firmly said, "The promos for both the international and Indian audiences are same and the kiss is in both. As far as the topless scene (of Barbara Mori) is concerned, it`s not true. I don`t make such films. For the Hollywood version, they wanted only 90 minutes so we removed all the five songs that are there in the Indian version of ‘Kites.’ "

Hrithik does it all for Barbara

Barbara Mori who quietly arrived in Mumbai on Monday morning left on Tuesday morning with Hrithik Roshan to shoot an ad campaign for Provogue. The Roshans wish to keep her visit to a city that the Mexican actress now knows so well, as low-key as possible until she returns from the Maldives on 22 April for a series of press interactions in Mumbai.

 

Buzz up!Hrithik wrapped up the final few days of his shooting with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Guzaarish before Barbara’s arrival. Both Hrithik and his wife Sussanne gladly played Barbara’s host on her arrival on Monday.

 

Speaking on her current visit to India, Rakesh Roshan said, “We don’t want to create any unnecessary hype about her presence. But we do want to make it clear that we didn’t sign Barbara for Kites because we needed any Caucasian girl. Barbara is not just a pretty girl. She is an amazing actress. You have to see her in Cosas Insignificantes where she had shaved off her hair. She is an outstanding dramatic actress.”

 

Barbara spent Monday in Mumbai with the Roshans and left early on Tuesday morning for the Maldives, prepared to return to Mumbai to a barrage of questions on her friendship with Hrithik which, apparently she is ready to tackle. She leaves Mumbai on 2 May and will join Hrithik for the US premieres of Kites in the US.

Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori got wet together!

Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori reportedly got wet together in the rain for a sequence for director Anurag Basu’s film Kites while shooting on Las Vegas.

It goes without saying that shooting a rain sequence in any bustling American city isn’t easy. Rakesh Roshan, producer of the film, had to get required permissions and block the road for a few hours and call in the tankers to create artificial rain. On top of it, the rain sequence, we hear, was shot in the morning to capture the soothing blue light of the rising sun.

 

Since light changes in the morning in a matter of minutes, everyone was on their toes during the shoot. The onus was on Hrithik and Barbara to give a perfect take. And boy, we hear, the two sizzled together in the rain.

 

Set for release in May this year, ‘Kites’ also stars Kangana Ranaut. But it’s the chemistry between Hrithik and Barbara that’s on everyone’s tongue.

Hrithik,Barbara intimate scenes edited in Hindi version

We might belong to the land of the Kama Sutra but Rakesh Roshan wants to take no chances with his home production Kites.

 

After approaching Raju Hirani and finally getting Brett Ratner to edit the film, Roshan has decided to considerably do away with the intimate scenes between Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori in the Hindi version on the instance of Ratner who is editing the film’s English version.

 

A source from the production unit reveals, “The film has an English as well as a Hindi version. As the intimate scenes between Hrithik and Barbara are way too bold for the Indian audience, Brett asked Rakesh Roshan to either completely delete or at least water down the passionate scenes in the Hindi version.”

 

“Brett Ratner was especially called to re-edit Kites. He was got in to cater to the international audience. Being an expert, Ratner gave his suggestion as he understands the mindset of the Indian audience very well. Also, the intimate scenes between Hrithik and Barbara should not become the talk of the town especially after rumours of their alleged affair. Rakesh Roshan is now making the necessary changes” adds the source. Says Rakesh Roshan, “My films are made for a family audience. There are no intimate or lovemaking scenes in Kites.”

Hrithik Roshan’s Kites needs a final edition

Kites seems to be in rough winds again. The bilingual movie is already delayed, and now is scheduled for May 21 release. But still, it has to be edited to a final Bollywood version.

 

As reported, the international version is being edited by Hollywood’s Brett Ratner but for the Indian version producer Rakesh Roshan is still in search of a good editor.

 

Apparently Rakesh wanted Raju Hirani to do the final edit of the film, but the talented director of 3 Idiots has allegedly said no. Sources claim that, “after the stupendous success of ‘3 Idiots’, Rakesh felt it would be prudent to get someone of Raju's expertise to sit in on the final edit of the Hrithik Roshan-Barbara Mori love saga.”

 

Well, director Hirani who is also a good editor and has edited most of Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s films is reportedly a busy man with a list of priorities now. And thus he couldn’t make himself available for the Roshans’ most ambitious film till now.

Hrithik his wife Suzanne Barbara Mori permanent body ink

Three may be a crowd but that doesn’t seem to be the case when the threesome in question is Hrithik Roshan, his wife Suzanne and the much talked about Barbara Mori. Don’t take our word for it; see it for yourselves in permanent body ink.

No long ago, the married couple was keen to insert the word ‘happily’ into their union; they played down rumours of a split by showing off matching tattoos on their forearms. The 'coupley' symbol they chose was the Star of David, which is also associated with Judaism.

So imagine our surprise when it was noted that Barbara Mori has the same exact body art on the same exact spot on her body too. Surely not a coincidence but can it really be by design?

Suzanne is reportedly not a fan of the stunning actress, especially as Barbara’s alleged affair with Hrithik was the talk of the town for some time.

It’s our hero Hrithik Roshan , a close friend to his Kites co-star, Barbara. It’s learnt that during his stay in Mumbai, Kintaro made Hrithik hear some of his compositions, and the actor was so overwhelmed with his music sense that he suggested Kintaro to cut a music album in India. Hrithik introduced Kintaro to T-series owner Bhushan Kumar to get a deal fixed.

And now the musician brother of Barbara is learning Hindi as the album will feature both Hindi and English songs. Bhushan Kumar has confirmed the news that they have plans to record an album with Kintaro, and music director Vishal-Shekhar will work with him for the album.

And Shekhar, from the Vishal-Shekhar duo has admitted that they have started working with Kintaro Mori.

We kissed like real-life couples - Says Hrithik

Hrithik Roshan’s much awaited ‘Kites’ was unveiled at Cannes 2009. The film has Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut as his co-stars. The film has a much talked about lip lock between Hrithik and Barabara. Hrithik says that he was comfortable doing the scene and they did kiss each other in the scene like real lovers. Hrithik says, “Why are we even talking about kissing? Is that such a big deal? Hasn’t our cinema grown up? Yes, there’re kissing scenes in the film, but nothing to make me squirm. In fact, I’d be more than happy and completely comfortable watching those kissing scenes with my wife, son and parents when the film is released.” ” ‘Kites’ is a love story. It’s about people in love.

And what do people in love do to express their mutual feelings? In fact, it was Barbara Mori who made me realise how silly we look on screen while shying away from expressing love naturally.” “We were both supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so our director Anurag Basu suggested I kiss Barbara since we were doing something death-defying and dangerous and potentially lethal. I reached out and kissed her on the cheeks.” “Barbara turned around to ask why I had kissed her on the cheek. ‘Given the same situation with your real-life wife, Suzanne, would you kiss her on the cheek?’ I was floored by her logic.” “And this time I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation. On the lips.” Have a look as Hrithik, along with Papa Roshan and Barbara, arrives for the screening of ‘Bright Star’ during the 62nd International film festival in Cannes, southern France, Friday, May 15.

Barbara Mori delays her trip to India

Hollywood actress Barbara Mori was going to come to India in early January. But due to the recent terrorist attacks all the producers of Kites were really worried about the fact whether Barbara would be visiting the country or not. According to sources, Barabara will be still visiting the country only after re-assurance of increase in on-set security.

According to sources,"Last schedule of the film Kites is supposed to begin from mid-December and will have Kangana and Hrithik in it. Only after they are done Barbara will arrive. The producers confirmed that the security on the sets has been increased after the attacks and that Barbara being their guest will get more security so that she feels safe. Hrithik also happened to be very tensed after he came to know about the attacks and therefore extra security will be provided to all the leading stars of Kites i.e. Hrithik, Kangana Ranaut and Barbara Mori."

"Due to the attacks, initially there was a possibility of postponing the schedule but as the schedule was tight it wasn’t possible. When the images of Taj and the Oberoi burning were shown all over the world, Barbara saw them and was very tensed and worried so she kept calling Hrithik and Susanne. She was constantly discussing whether it was safe or not to come to India. It was only after Hrithik assured her safety that she was convinced" conclude the sources.

Kites is supposed to be releasing in May 2009.

Much is being said about Hrithik’s chemistry with hot actress Barbara Mori amidst the shooting of ‘Kites’. Now the bonding is getting better each day for this The Mexican bombshell has gotten so comfortable working with Hrithik, director Anurag Basu and producer Rakesh Roshan , that she has been giving suggestions to make certain scenes look better.

The scene we are talking about has Hrithik and Barbara jumping from a great height. Before the deadly jump, Hrithik was supposed to kiss Barbara on her cheek. It was a crucial kiss, but Barbara felt a smooch would look better, considering the chemistry between the lead characters in the film.
