| Hrithik turns English teacher for Barbara Mori  It's not just fame that "Kites" has brought to Mexican actress Barbara
Mori. She has also learnt English while shooting for the
romantic-action thriller and it was none other than co-star Hrithik
Roshan who turned teacher on the sets.Apparently Barbara and
Hrithik made a pact. Hrithik would teach Barbara English and Barbara
would teach him Spanish while shooting for the movie. "I don't
know how much of the promised linguistic exchange worked, but Hrithik
knows enough Spanish to understand Mori better than his character in
'Kites' who can't follow a word of what she says in the film," said a
crew member. Barbara has picked up enough to conduct herself
coherently with the media in Cannes although apparently she would often
turn to Hrithik to get the right word. Film producer and
Hrithik's father Rakesh Roshan told IANS: "Barbara knew only Spanish
when she started shooting for 'Kites'. That suited us fine since her
character is supposed to understand only Spanish. During shooting she
needed to communicate with her co-stars and the crew. She was forced to
learn English. Now she speaks just enough to make herself understood". "Kites"
is being directed by Anurag Basu and also stars Kangana Ranaut in a
pivotal role. The film's shooting is over and it has reached editing
table. Rakesh Roshan is hoping for an October release. "All
the prospective buyers and mediapersons loved the trailer we took to
Cannes. This was my first official visit to Cannes though I've been to
the city for holidays," said Rakesh Roshan. Indo-Asian News Service |
