Hrithik Roshan, who will be seen sporting a new look in his forthcoming release Kites, has never hesitated from experimenting in his 10 years in the industry.
“Kites is a very honest film. That was the brief that my father and Anurag Basu gave to the entire team. We do not want to be within the safety zone influenced by manipulative commercial thinking”, said Hrithik, looking stud in a red and white check shirt and a blue denim.
The actor continued, “There is nothing in the film, be it dialogues or moments, that tries to provoke claps, tears or laughter. It's a very simple straightforward love story, something that would happen in real life and following that thread whatever fell into place has made the film what it is”.
The 36-year-old Roshan lad, who has done a range of movies, from sci-fi to superhero, from historical to romantic sagas, feels filmmakers should try to come out of their comfort zones and make films from their heart. "It's time to let go of all our safety nets and be out there and tell a story through our hearts and not bother who is listening. We should make films with a thought as if no one is there to judge us. Like this, we will produce better and more honest films," he said.
Sharing about his upcoming film, he said, “Kites is a film about an Indian man's affair with a Latin woman and their predicament as they don't understand each others language. The film is being made in Hindi as well as English. The English version of Kites has been presented and reworked by well-known Hollywood director Brett Ratner.
Hrithik met with a couple of accidents while shooting. He hurt his knees while doing a dangerous car stunt in Las Vegas and later injured his arm while shooting in Filmistan Studio in Mumbai.
The actor also broke his silence on the controversy that surrounded the film regarding an alleged link-up between him and Barbara. "Certain sections of the media had tried to instigate and provoke, but the truth always comes out. So it was just a matter of time," he said.
Produced by Hrithik's father and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, the film will be distributed and marketed by Reliance BIG Pictures. Directed by Anurag Basu, the movie also stars Mexican actress Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut. It has been shot in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Santa Fe and will release May 21 in over 60 countries.
