Hrithik to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali Though Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali had always expressed a desire to work together, no project ever materialised. But now it seems that the superstar has given the thumbs-up to the filmmaker and will be working in his next project. His business manager neither denied or confirmed Hrithik’s commitment and not much is known on the genre of the movie or about the cast. Hrithik, who is extremely choosy about the films he does, is presently shooting for his home-production ‘Kites’ in Los Angeles. He will be back in Mumbai with his team on October 12 after which he shoots for the Mumbai schedule.
The film’s shooting was disrupted by Hurricane Ike during the shoot in New Mexico, but according to his manager it has not affected the schedule as they continued the shoot in Las Vegas. The Anurag Basu directed project, which is reportedly based on Woody Allen’s ‘Match Point’, a tale of love, betrayal and adultery, and has Hrithik with an interesting new look.
Latin model-actress Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut play the other key characters in the film. ‘Kites’ is 75 percent complete and scheduled for an August 2009 release. Even though talks are still on it is said that the film is set to sell for an astounding 120 crores.
