Deepika Padukone to play the lead in Krissh 2

The latest buzz doing the rounds in B-town is that the Deepika Padukone will be roped in as the lead lady for the Krissh sequel. 

Few know that Bangalore beauty Deepika Padukone was Rakesh Roshan’s first choice for ‘Kites’ opposite Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan. But, Deepika refused the offer saying, she was not very comfortable with the intimate scenes in the movie, and was also hesitant to wear a bikini at that point. 

But, this time, the actress is keen to team up with Hrithik, who she considers as one of the finest talents around. 

However filmmaker Rakesh Roshan says, “I’m not even sure whether I am making the Krrish sequel as of today.”

 

Well, I want the sequel to come out soon. What about you???

Hrithik loses his cool with the media

He was mobbed by the media in Shirdi, where he had gone to pray with his family

Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan, who went with his family to the holy town of Shirdi today (May 8) to pray for the success of his forthcoming movie 'Kites', was left disappointed after being mobbed by the media.

"Visited Shirdi this morning, a family tradition before each release since decades. Dad, mom, Su (wife Sussane) and me. But today was different... it took effort to pray with 30 media cameras feeding off every private moment... tried to feel peace... couldn't," Hrithik posted on his Twitter page.

The actor says he lost his patience -- after a point.

"Can't believe they can now enter god's shrine for TRPs (Television Rating Points). Polite words requesting (privacy) were ignored. Right now I'm trying to forgive myself for losing my cool. But I guess when it comes to family, any man would do the same," he said.

Hrithik, who stars opposite Mexican actress Barbara Mori for 'Kites', is known for his calm nature. He said he reacted strongly because he felt his privacy with his family was being invaded.

But now he is feeling guilty.

"For d (the) first time in 10 years as an actor, today I felt my privacy being invaded. What they did was wrong. But I wish I could've risen above and given them all a big hug. We're all human, we're all the same. Only love can heal...," the 36-year-old said.

'Kites' is produced by his father Rakesh Roshan and is distributed by Reliance Big Pictures. It will release May 21 in over 60 countries.

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has wished Hrithik success for the movie.

"I send you peace my friend. A piece of love... a piece of success and a large piece of life, love and light to you in abundance," Shah Rukh posted to Hrithik.

Why Hrithik Roshan’s film is called Kites

Finally, we know why Kites is called Kites. Producer Rakesh Roshan and director Anurag Basu, makers of Kites, one of the most eagerly awaited romantic films of this summer disclose the inspiration behind their film’s title. 

“The idea for Kites came to me when I was gazing at the sky and saw two kites flying,”. It looked very romantic. It was very intriguing – the way they came close, played, almost embraced each other and then drew apart. Unaware that someone else was pulling the strings and could cut them loose. I sat down and penned a story around this idea.” notes Rakesh Roshan.

“Kites is a metaphor in the film. Kites fly against the wind and not with it, stronger the wind blows, higher they fly,” adds Anurag Basu who penned the screenplay and directed the film.

Produced by Rakesh Roshan and to be released worldwide by Reliance BIG Pictures, Kites is directed by Anurag Basu. It stars Hrithik Roshan and the Mexican star Barbara Mori along with Kangana Ranaut, Kabir Bedi and Nick Brown.

Hrithik Roshan Latest News – Upcoming Movie Kites Gossip

Hrithik Roshan Upcoming Movie in 2010 Kites needs a Bollywood editor.

Kites seem to be in rough winds again. The bilingual movie is already delayed, and now is scheduled for May 21 release date. 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 Hot Bollywood Hunk 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 Roshan’ most ambitious film till now.

Its Official: Kites is a debacle in the making

The high-budget action-romance 'Kites', starring Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut seems like a major disaster in the making - in a new development '3 idiots' director Rajkumar Hirani refused to edit the film even after Hollywood director Brett Ratner was hired for the project.

Hirani was approached by the Roshans a couple of days ago but the director flatly denied the request because he felt the film was not what he hoped it would be. Hirani is also busy with hsi own projects, 'Ferrari Ki Sawari' and 'Munnabhai Chale Amrika', the third installment of the celebrated franchise. "This film that is Rakesh`s most ambitious venture has two versions. The international version, as is common knowledge now, is being edited by Hollywood`s Brett Ratner because Rakesh feels Ratner's sensibilities will make it suitable for an international palate." a close source said.

Now Rajkumar Hirani snubs the film

Meanwhile the director of 'Kites' Anurag Basu revealed that he had numerous differences with producer Rakesh Roshan over the film. He said that there were constant arguments over the way the film was to be shot. "I wouldn`t call them creative differences. Because we were both creating the same film and moving in the same direction. But yes, Rakeshji`s vision of cinema is quite different from mine," said Basu, "See, Rakeshji was not just the producer of Kites. He`s also a very big director with a vast experience as filmmaker behind him. He naturally had very strong opinions on how the film should be shot. It`s all fine now. Over and done with. I just hope all the hard work is worth the effort," he said.

'Kites' hits theaters on May 21st and will release in two versions - the international one which was edited by Brett Ratner and the desi one which still lies on the cutting room floor. Shockingly, Basu said that he has no idea when the film is releasing, and that he was just a prop in the film, rather than the director. "I'm just a technician on the film, just like the cinematographer or editor. I know as much as any one else who has worked on Kites. But I've heard the film is being released on May 14 or May 21, I don`t know which date it actually is. But I`m happy it`s finally being released," he said. "I still maintain I had no creative differences with Rakesh Roshanji. When I didn`t have any hesitation in walking out of my first directorial venture `Kuch To Hai` when I had differences with my producer Ekta Kapoor why would I not do the same with Kites, if necessary, when I`ve proved myself as a director with `Gangster` and Life...In A Metro."

As we reported earlier, 'Kites' underwhelmed producers and critics at Cannes, lost a big chunk of money, and resorted to Hollywood chops. Kites was a flop at Cannes, and was an even bigger flop when producers resorted to viral marketing. Will the film make money when it finally releases on May 21st?

Rakesh Roshan rewriting the Krrish 3 script

Rakesh Roshan has no option left but to re-work on the script of Krrish 3. The sole reason being that the script which Roshan had penned down more than a year back has the same plot as Spiderman 3.

A source close to the director reveals, “Rakesh Roshan had written portions of Krrish along with other writers. The movie turned out to be a major hit. He does not want the sequel to be any less. The director sat down almost two years back and was penning down the script to Krrish 3. But to his surprise, Spiderman 3 which released then had the same plot as he had ideated.”

The source continues, “At that point, Rakesh Roshan kept the script back into his drawer and started working on his production Kites. Now that Kites is almost done and will be releasing soon, Rakesh has gone back to re-working on the script of Krrish 3. The director has hired freelancers too, to help him make alterations and the required inputs for the film. He wants a new plot, and does not want any similarity to the Spiderman movie plot.”

“In the past Rakesh Roshan has paid a heavy amount to a young composer Ram Sampath who went to court saying that Rajesh Roshan, composer of the soundtrack for Krazzy 4, sampled his music from the Song Ericsson Thump ads in the songs ‘Break Free’ and ‘Krazzy 4′. Ram won the case and was given a whopping amount. To avoid any such troubles, Rakesh Roshan is extremely cautious,” adds the source.

Katz Says No To Rakesh Roshan!

Where actresses want to share screen space with Bollywood multi-talented actor Hrithik Roshan, here's one who has rejected the amazing offer to work with Junior Roshan.

Well the hottie in question is Hindi film industry's favorite dame Katrina Kaif, who was approached for Hrithik starrer 'KRRISH 2'.

Katrina rejected the offer as she had already been signed by Karan Johar for 'Dostana' sequel.

It was not possible for Katz to add up Hrithik starrer in her list. As a result, film producer Rakesh Roshan.

Who was desperate to pair up Hrithik-Katz in Krrish 2, has roped in dimpled beauty Deepika Padukone instead.

According to the sources, "Rakesh Roshan came up with the idea of pairing Hrithik opposite Kat. They both would look really good together and it's a fresh pairing. But she wasn't too sure if she could commit and declined the offer politely."

Rakesh Roshan, who formerly decided to rope in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra to direct Krrish sequel, has changed his mind. It looks the director is very eager to go behind the camera himself for the film. It looks that Rakesh didn't want to take chances after 'Delhi 6' debacle.

Hrithik Roshan To Play Double Role In ‘Krrish 2’

Hrithik Roshan will play a double role in his upcoming superhero film ‘Krrish 2’.Though the entire crew is tight-lipped about the double role buzz, sources claim that Rakesh Roshan has penned a double role for his son.

Reports also say that the much-anticipated SFX flick has a robo- human as the villain. Hollywood technicians have been roped in by Roshan for this movie. The actress who will play the love interest to Hrithik is yet to be decided. Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif are being speculated to be the first two choices of the director.

It is surely going to be a tough decision as both the Bollywood beauties have delivered Box Office hits. Katrina being very consistent this year is most likely to earn Roshan’s favour.

Rakesh Roshan Exposes The Opportunistic One Film Wonder, Ram Sampat.

When jingle composer Ram Sampat gave the music for 'Khakee', it appeared that a new whiz composer had been discovered. However, as soon as the audio of his next film. 'Family- Ties Of Blood' hit the stores, it became obvious that it was another one film wonder!

What remained of Ram Sampat and his tattered reputations vanished into thin air and his true face came to the fore via his opportunistic out of court settlement with the 'Krazzy 4' producer, Rakesh Roshan, after pressurising him just days before the release of the film.

We bring you the exact story, straight from Rakesh Roshan :-

I have been observing with great feeling of anguish, some false and frivolous reporting about the matter related to the music of my film 'Krazzy 4' in press and electronic media.

With a view to clarifying the position and removing any wrong and unworthy impression created by such irresponsible and utterly misleading statements I think it is absolutely necessary to inform everyone about the facts on record.

This statement, besides unfolding the facts, will serve as a timely warning to my fraternity.

I had liked the music piece of the ad which I saw on TV in which Hrithik Roshan is performing as a brand ambassador for Sony Ericsson. For the purpose of using some portion of the said music in my film I requested Sony Ericsson and in response I was granted consent and permission of Sony Ericsson by the letter dated 13th December 2007 which I reproduce here below.

Consequently in good faith and relying on the authorization of Sony Ericsson as per the attached letter I recorded with the required modification retaining only 4 bars of the THUMP track. I was surprised and shocked on 24th March 2008 to receive a notice from the solicitors of Ram Sampat containing allegations of infringement of his work.

I contacted Sony Ericsson and was told that they issued the letter by mistake and infact they didn't have the rights for the same.

Before I could think of any solution, Mr. Sampat filed a suit in Bombay High Court framing all wild and frivolous allegations of infringing his copyright of said music piece of Thump.

It was really a shocking development because instead of approaching me to know the facts he straight away went to court. It was evident from going through the plaint and annexure therewith, that he was preparing the suit for a long time.

It is interesting to note that the 'Krazzy 4' music was launched in February 2008 and the promos containing the alleged infringed work was released on TV on all channels in the end of February 2008. All these days Ram Sampat chose to wait and instituted the suit in the High Court just a few days before the release of the film.

This was a well planned scheme of making money. Having all the proof in my hand to defend, I was helpless for want of time.

I was required to be in Court when the prints of the film had already been delivered all over the world. Finding myself caught in a helpless situation and to keep up my commitment with distributors and to respect feelings of the audience, I had no way but to succumb to the pressure and to compromise on the matter, thereby seeing that the film is released on the announced date.

To honor all these commitments, moral and professional I paid the price to Ram Sampat who strangulated me just days before the release.

These are facts which will enlighten each and everyone who might have been misled by wrongful claims and have been carrying wrong impression about the intentions and integrity of a banner which is sincerely and honestly serving the Motion Picture Industry and cine-goers since decades. These are also the facts which Hrithik had sent to Ram via sms which he has misused.

While concluding I would request my producer brethren to be beware of such people who wait to harass and corner the producers just at the time of the release of the film for wrongful gains.
