Cannes: Film star Hrithik Roshan charmed the Cannes crowd on Friday at the unveiling of Anurag Basu's Kites even as he dropped a bombshell -- and it wasn't his Mexican co-star Barbara Mori.
I use Website Polls for website polls.
Commenting on the film, Hrithik said, "Kites is an international film shot in the US, in English, with a Mexican actress. There is no Bollywood song-and-dance. There is dance, but it is realistic, not Bollywood style. In Bollywood, if an actor has to sing, there is playback, and there are dances out of nowhere -- and that's obsolete now. This is a film for a world platform." I'm not really a great one for cleft chins, but I admit Hrithik looked like serious dude material, one of the few Indian stars with the looks, machismo, charisma, and fluency in English to make it in the West. Somehow, we can't imagine Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, or the Three Khans succeeding thus, despite lording it over ethnic populations. Hrithik put at ease Barbara Mori, who wore a fetching, cleavage-revealing dress with a red rose, and had a charming Spanish accent. The film features Hrithik as a chalu guy born in Las Vegas, who falls in love with Mori -- and there is unexpected betrayal.
