Hrithik Roshan to make singing debut
21st May 2010 is the date that has been blocked by Hrithik Roshan's fans world over. After all, it's the day when Hrithik's much awaited film Kites opens across cinema halls. Kites is extra-special to Hrithik as for the first time ever, the superstar will be seen or should we say heard crooning a song in the film.
‘Kites’ to dominate your TV screens
Kites buys roadblock across 40 channels to promote music. Music label T-Series and Big Pictures have bought roadblock across 40 channels to promote the music of Hrithik Roshan starrer ‘Kites’. The roadblock will be aired on 29 March at 9.30 pm across all the channels.The one minute promo will feature snippets from the film along
“If Kites takes me international, I’ll be happy” - Hrithik
Hrithik Roshan, just selected by Forbes among the half a dozen Bollywood actors who have a name in Hollywood, was delighted and surprised when he was recognized on the streets in the US while shooting for Kites. "That was a change. It makes me feel good to see our films are crossing borders. At a bank in the US when you're withdrawing money you are delighted to realize that the person on other end of the counter knows who you are. Or salesgirls at shops...they recognize you and go, 'Are you...? And when you tell them, they go, 'Wow!' ...yeah it feels good."
However, Hrithik is not courting international success with his first English-language film Kites. "I haven't set any goals for myself as such. I just want to keep evolving as an actor and a person. That's the only mission in my career. If Kites takes me international, I'll be happy."
Hrithik’s Kite flying high
The film industry is abuzz with the news that the film has been bought by Reliance Big Pictures for almost Rs 150 crore. And this in the times of recession. The film is produced by Rakesh Roshan, directed by Anurag Basu and stars Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut and Barbara Mori.
Our industry source says, “Every major corporate house in the industry was looking to get the rights of Kites. The deal has been closed at over Rs 150 crore. The deal includes worldwide rights, along with overseas, music, satellite and video rights. However the deal is only for a certain period with a minimum guarantee amount. This amount is over Rs 150 crore.”
The amount is so big that now Reliance will hold all the rights. Trade experts affirm that only that can make it a feasible option, although the risk of such a huge price cannot be ruled out. Some of the recent big deals have been struck for Singh Is Kinng (around Rs 70 crore) and Om Shanti Om (around Rs 60 crore). Kites surpasses both by a long shot.
Hrithik can’t stop raving about Barbara
Hrithik's Kites co-star Barbara Mori was in Mumbai to complete the film.
Raves Hrithik, "She's one of the best actresses I've ever shared the camera with. She's unbelievable!
Her acting style has opened my eyes as an actor. It has been a very liberating experience. Her basic approach to acting is so different from what we are taught here. Everything is about being real. We in this country act out every scene. She doesn't. Barbara doesn't even know what glycerin now."
For an emotional scene Barbara sat in a corner and cried the whole day.
"The whole day!" marvels Hrithik. "I couldn't believe it. Yeah I've learnt a lot from Barbara and all the other actors I worked with in Kites. "
