‘Kites’ hit by hurricane Ike

Nature has not been very kind for the crew of the mega-budget project ‘Kites’ starring Hrithik Roshan, Latino beauty Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut. The cast of the film was shooting progressively in Mexico when the hurricane Ike struck in sweeping past the Caribbean and Cuba into the Gulf of Mexico, leaving a trail of death and destruction behind.

Where the entire cast and crew of the film are killing time in their hotel rooms waiting for the weather to settle down, producer Rakesh Roshan keeps his hands folded. The producer is in dual loss- losing the precious dates of high-priced stars and incurring monetary losses due to the postponement of the shoot. Reports have it that Roshan senior is also thinking of returning back to Mumbai with the entire crew and return Mexico later, when the weather would be conducive for shooting.

Directed by Anurag Basu, the story of ‘Kites’ revolves around three people- Hrithik who has knowledge of different languages, his lady love Barbara Mori whose language is not understood by Hrithik and the third angle played by Kangana Ranaut.
