Barbara Mori and Hrithik sizzles in Kites

Love sans boundary: Hrithik and Barbara sizzle in ‘Kites’

Anurag Basu has all the reason to rejoice, courtesy ‘Kites’, his latest under production venture that boasts of a remarkable star cast – Hrithik Roshan and Mexican hottie Barbara Mori. ‘Kites’ is based on the transcendental nature of love that goes beyond the barriers of culture and language.

‘Kites’ is a tale of two lovers, where Hrithik’s character speaks only in Hindi and Barbara’s character knows only Spanish. Despite the divide of language and cultural baggage, both fall in love! Although filmdom is abuzz with rumours of Hrithik-Barbara steamy scenes, but the movie is actually an intensely romantic tale of two lovers.

The movie gets spicier with a love triangle between Hrithik, Barbara and Kangana Ranaut's character that promises to offer a thrilling twist towards the end.

Anurag is ecstatic about working with handsome Hrithik for the first time and is all praises for the leading hero of his film. “Hrithik and I really enjoyed working together. I always respected him as an actor but now I respect him as a human being too. Hrithik and I made the film honestly, just like we wanted to," he said.

Anurag also talked about Hrithik’s professionalism. Hrithik, despite nursing a knee injury was always willing to work. “Before every shot I would be worried about Hrithik's knee. If anything happened to him, then our entire outdoor shooting schedule would've gone for a toss. But Hrithik asked me not to compromise the shots under any circumstance. I'm awed by the way he managed, without ever letting the shoot halt. He even did the few action scenes we have in the film himself," he added.

And that’s not all, as Anurag is extremely impressed by Barbara too! He says, "The day I narrated about ‘Kites’, I knew I had chosen the right actress. I've this bad habit of narrating very fast. Barbara is a Mexican actress, so she is not aware of Hindi and also less familiar with English. But the way she understood my story, hats off to her. Her expressions changed while I was narrating the story. I've never seen any actor responding this way. Even though she comes from a different culture, the emotions of love and relationships are the same. Her approach was definitely different."

‘Kites’ will hit the theatres in 2009. However, Basu is keeping his fingers crossed amid the rising expectations from a multilingual film.

Surely, a movie that involves genuine effort deserves all accolades!
