Summary
India's glitterati hit London's red carpet Tuesday evening for the premiere of Bollywood film Kites -- which will be the widest ever release for an Indian film to date.The film follows two immigrants -- one from India, played by Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan, and another from Mexico, played by Mexican actress Barbara Mori -- who are in the US to pursue their dreams.And this may not have been too far from reality since for both actors, having the film premiere in London was itself a dream come true. Kites' premiere in London is testament to its ambition.Two versions of the film have been made, with the shorter one being the handiwork of American filmmaker Brett Ratner, who directed X-Men: The Last Stand. Veteran of Indian cinema Rakesh Roshan, who is also Hrithik's father, produced the film. And while he's previously worked on 4 films with his son, the older Roshan believes that this film is special due to its wider reach. It follows an incredible love story between two people that don't speak the same language. But despite the language barrier, the actors' relationship was more than smooth-sailing. Kites will be released in cinemas across the UK on May 21st.
