Since 2001, we have been hearing that Hrithik Roshan will act in a Hollywood film. Reportedly, Hrithik was to act in a film titled Aditya, to be produced by Los Angeles-based James Killough and to be directed by Tarsem Singh

But the film never went on the floors. But now, Hrithik’s splash in Hollywood doesn’t look like a very distant dream.

Seeing the trailers and promos of Kites, Rakesh Roshan has been getting calls from Hollywood filmmakers. These makers are impressed by Hrithik’s performance in Kites and his sizzling chemistry with his co-actor, Barbara Mori.

“Hrithik and Barbara have ignited a never-seen-before passion on screen. This has particularly caught the eye of many Hollywood directors,” said a source. 

Interestingly, quite a few of these offers are for romantic films, some are even romantic comedies. “These offers have come in just early this week. Hrithik is dwelling on them,” added the source.

Rakesh Roshan did not deny the story. Unwilling to reveal the names of the Hollywood filmmakers who want to make a film with Hrithik, Roshan senior simply said, “It is too early to comment on this.”

However, Hrithik’s official spokesperson confirmed the news and said, “Yes, Hrithik has been getting a lot of feelers from Hollywood recently.”

Hrithik at Harper's Bazaar First Anniversary

B-town raises a toast to fashion

Source:: IndiaToday
The address was unmistakable. All high-heeled steps led to the flashbulb-lit red carpet and the sound-free steps down to LAP at the Samrat where Harper's Bazaar India unveiled its first anniversary issue.

Beyond the velvet rope was a night where films and fashion came together like it was only the most natural thing to do. It is after all the central theme of the special issue. The cover with Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif was unveiled on a mammoth- sized poster for all to see.

All eyes, might have stopped primarily on Hrithik, who looked just as dapper in person as he does on the cover along with the stunning Katrina. Hrithik was wearing a suit by Suneet Varma, who has also designed the actor's look in the much-hyped forthcoming film, Kites. Hrithik might have more than made up for Katrina's absence, but he got support from a full house comprising familiar FASHION faces from Bollywood.

Hrithik, Katrina's spicy shoot!



Source: India Today



About five months ago, the Harper's Bazaar team began to plan the first anniversary issue and chose to celebrate the style of Bollywood, the biggest influence on fashion in India. The team soon realised it could not be just one person. It had to be a couple. It was a virtually unanimous decision that the most stylish man in Bollywood was Hrithik Roshan, and the most fashionable woman-Katrina Kaif. Of course, the fact that they are among the highest paid stars in Bollywood, with brands bombarding them for endorsements, as well super successful actors didn't hurt either. Bazaar India was sure they would make a very sexy and chic duo; in fact, it seemed strange that they hadn't worked together in a movie yet. So, here are the two hot looking actors of Bollywood in one frame!

Hrithik: Hot dude of Bollywood
It has been almost a decade since Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai hit the screens and marked the birth of a new Bollywood superstar-Hrithik Roshan, who immediately broke millions of hearts by marrying Sussanne Khan. From the beginning, he established his calibre. He set hearts fluttering with his looks, won respect for his acting, wowed us with his dancing, and kept us surprised with his chameleon-like quality, changing his look from the child-man in Koi… Mil Gaya to sexy street-chic in Dhoom 2 (a film he describes as "fashion school"). "My job allows me to live the many people inside me," he says.

Style, marriage and more!
Katrina admits to looking forward to marriage - "I see it as a completion," she says. Until then, she seems set to continue her reign as one of the most beautiful women Bollywood has ever seen, one who has consistently been voted India's sexiest woman by leading lad mags. Her vote for India's most stylish male star is shared between Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan. At the Bazaar shoot, her on-screen chemistry with Hrithik was clear to see. And you can believe that when they get cast together (as is rumoured will happen soon), the tabloids will jump to conclusions.

On the Brand-wagon
Labels don't matter for Katrina, neither does jewellery; the only thing she looks for is fabric and cut. As for personal style, she is frank that hers has two facets - the actor and the girl-at-home. While the actor's red carpet look is all out glamour in classic, elegant dresses, the girl-at-home would rather lounge around in track pants. Roshan is very particular about what he wears - but then, he is a self-confessed perfectionist. "I can tell immediately if something is going to work on me or not," he says, picking Emporio Armani and Diesel as his favourite labels. While he's almost relaxed when it comes to red-carpet dressing, surrendering himself to the hands of the experts - his designers and wife Sussanne - he works closely with stylists for his look in a movie.

The wow factor
It was a decision that generated an enormous amount of buzz, in both Bollywood and the fashion industry. "They are the brightest beacons for style in Bollywood," said young director of the moment Zoya Akhtar, who worked with Roshan in Luck by Chance. "They would make a beautiful duo," observed Suneet Varma, who has dressed Hrithik in the soon-to-be-released film Kites and worked with Katrina when she was a Lakme model. "They are an unexpected pair, and there is no doubt that the imagery would have that wow factor. They both are among best-dressed in Bollywood," JJ Valaya exclaimed. Prasad Naik, who shot the two for Bazaar and has worked with both over the years, was equally enthusiastic when we approached him, responding that this would be a cover he would just have to shoot.

Too hot to Handle:Hrithik and Katrina photoshoot

Source:: HT


He is a true style icon, and she, the sexiest woman, in Bollywood. Despite their almost carefree attitude to fashion, actors Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif together make a sizzling duo in their first ever shoot together for the cover of fashion glossy Harper’s Bazaar’s first anniversary issue.

The cover interview reveals that Kat is a brand-wary natural, while Hrithik is a self-confessed perfectionist. And despite the weight and beard he’s put on for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish, he has Katrina’s vote for India’s most stylish male star.

Kat, meanwhile, is mum on all questions related to beau Salman. “When Salman and I first became close, he wanted to keep it private, and after so many years I don’t see the need to change things,” she says.

She does admit to be looking forward to marriage. “I think it is a completion.” “Getting these style icons together for the first time is a coup,” says Sujata Assomull, Editor Harper’s Bazaar India.

Hrithik Roshan lets out Kites' secret

Source:: OneIndia


'Roshans' are making their comeback - a come back with a vengeance to change the shape and style of Indian cinema, that's what the makers quote.

And this is what we call an 'exclusive' of all 'exclusives'. For the first time before the release of their film Kites, both Rakesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan have lend their voice and their opinion on whether Kites will be a revolutionary change in Indian cinema, especially in the overseas market. Here's what the father and son have to say about Kites.

Producer of Kites, Rakesh Roshan says, "We are very excited about the release of Kites in the overseas, especially in the UK. Yes it's indeed, one of a kind film, which will witness the widest release ever. For the first time, an Indian Film will be releasing in English and Hindi version, one for the diaspora audience and the other for the International audience across cultures and races.

Kites is unique in many ways, it will also showcase for the first time an International (Mexican) actress, Barbara Mori in the lead. And the English and Spanish version is being presented by Brett Ratner. So yes, this film is going to sail across boundaries. And we are hoping to tap new markets which have never been attempted so far. However, it's too early to comment on the Spanish premiere."

Hrithik Roshan adds, "Kites is a very special film for me. It embarks my return after three and a half years, and yes I'm equally excited about its worldwide release. We all had conviction in the concept of Kites and always felt that this film can cross boundaries and break the borders of language and geography. Kites can become something that will be completely new to what we've ever seen in India or in the world. And we all have collectively achieved that. It is a film which will appeal to people across cultures and ethnicity and will hopefully change the way people look at Indian cinema in the overseas."

The Kite Runner

Source :: Box Office India


The Kite Runner
He may not be media-savvy and thus often doesn’t get due credit as being among the top directors in the industry. But if you go by his filmography and business at the box office, you can’t help but admit he’s the man with the Midas touch. That’s Rakesh Roshan, who is all set with his next production, the much-awaited Kites, being directed by Anurag Basu and featuring son Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori.

The theatrical trailers were launched on Friday, along with My Name Is Khan, and according to the trade, the response is awesome! To know more, here’s Rakesh Roshan in a talkathon with Vajir Singh.



To start with, why is the film titled Kites? What does it mean?You may not understand now but it’s been explained in a subtle way through the narrative. We will also explain it through the promos. When you look at two kites in the sky, they look amazing… the way they come together and try and cross paths… their fights in the sky.
Though kites fly freely, they don’t know that the strings aren’t in their hands. This is what we’ve tried to convey through our film.

Though Karan Johar and Ekta Kapoor have moved on from their ‘K’ fixation, you are still sticking with it?
(Laughs) Well, it’s only limited to the title of my film.

Okay, tell us what’s the response to the theatrical promos of Kites?
I’ve been flooded with calls since morning. I’m getting calls from Punjab, Delhi and the entire North. I’ve been told that the audience is really enjoying the trailers and applauding at several scenes. I’m glad and a little relieved.

How come you haven’t got any calls from the overseas market?
I’m waiting for that. It will happen soon as India is in a different time zone.



The theatrical trailer was leaked on youtube.com. Were you disheartened? 
To be frank, it was a blessing in disguise. Initially, we were skeptical but soon we were flooded with calls because those who saw the trailer, loved it. I received phone calls from across the globe and the verdict was unanimous. They are all looking forward to Kites -- everyone feels there has been no romantic film for a while and Kites is releasing soon. 

Rumour has it Reliance BIG Pictures tried to send the trailer via e-mail and it thus got leaked? 
Not true. It was not leaked from Reliance but from Canada, where our film went for censoring. One enthusiastic movie fan uploaded it. 

Why is there so little of Kangna Ranaut in the trailer? Let me clarify here. Kangna Ranaut has a special appearance in the film. And capturing and showing her more in the trailer would have sent out a wrong signal to the audience. It is not a love triangle. 
You are always known for attempting something new in each of your productions. What are you offering in Kites? 
You will have to wait and watch. Right now, all I can say is the style of filmmaking is different. It’s a love story but it’s different. It’s a love story between an Indian boy and a foreigner shot very differently. No one ever thought of making a romantic film of this scale and so beautifully.

Don’t you think the use of Mexican and English will keep B and C class audiences away?
I would never attempt anything that would keep my viewers away. First, Kites is not an English film, it is 60 per cent Hindi and 40 per cent Spanish and English. But everyone will still understand what the characters are saying, irrespective of the language. We’ve taken care of that.



Why two different versions – one for the overseas market and another for India?
It is very clear that we are trying to open more and more territories for the Indian cinema. We will have two versions – about two hours (for India) and an hour and half (for US, UK and other foreign territories). 

Reportedly, Raju Hirani was requested to edit the film. Comment. 
You should ask Hirani if we ever asked him to edit our film or address this question to the media, which has been speculating. 

Why is it that Kites took so long to reach theatres? 
I don’t agree. Every film takes two and half years to make and Kites is no different. 

What was the idea behind showing the film at Cannes? Did your plan succeed? 
Of course we succeeded in our promotional and business plan by showing it at Cannes. We exchanged notes with buyers and many studios. Later, when I went to LA, I met more people and they all saw the film again. 

Does this mean the English version will be released with more prints compared to the Indian version?
Why do you ask this? It is an Indian film so definitely, more prints will be released in India. But I can assure you that the total number of prints will be much more than that of any other Hindi film released so far. We also intend to release 200-300 more prints in the US.



Would you like to share some of your marketing gimmicks?
If I reveal them, it would spoil the fun! You’ll see. 

So we will see one dhamaka from Filmkraft every 15 days? 
Absolutely. 

Whatever has happened to the next part of Krrish? 
I am still working on it. As of now, it’s only Kites, Kites and Kites. 

Going back to Kites, much has been said and written about the interference Anurag Basu faced from Hrithik Roshan and yourself. Can you tell us just whose film Kites is?
Kites is my film. I am the producer, Anurag is the director. He is the captain and he has done a fantastic job. When I decided to sign him to direct this prestigious project, no one had the confidence in him except me. Today, I feel proud to announce that he has taken the film to another level.

Hrithik Roshan joins Twitter

Superstar Hrithik Roshan has finally joined the micro-blogging site Twitter and in his maiden message he urged fans to go and watch Shah Rukh Khan starrer My Name Is Khan.

"Spread humanity with a vengeance, go watch My Name Is Khan...and for the record, my name is Hrithik Roshan," he posted as his first Tweet.
Shah Rukh is courting controversy for favouring Pakistani cricketers' inclusion in the Indian Premier League (IPL) - a stand which has cast a shadow over the release of his film My Name Is Khan.

Hrithik received a warm welcome from his close friends, filmmaker Karan Johar as well as actors Abhishek Bachchan and Genelia D'Souza on the social networking site.
"One of my closest friends and one of the finest actors I know is here! Hrithik Roshan...give him love Tweeple!" posted Johar, whose controversial film My Name Is Khan is finally releasing on Friday.

Abhishek said: "Please welcome my dear friend to the chaos!"
And Genelia welcomed him saying, "Twitterverse".

The 36-year-old is awaiting the release of his much-hyped film Kites, which is being co-produced by his father Rakesh Roshan's Filmkfraft and Reliance BIG Cinemas. It is set to hit screens May 21.
