After their whirlwind Western tour, lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori arrived in India yesterday.South American-born, Mexican actress Barbara said that she actually shocked when Rakesh Roshan showed her Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar in Los Angeles. “Hrithik was so stiff. I thought, ‘I don’t want to do a film with an actor like that.’ I hated Hrithik in it,” said the actress whose magical green eyes have a searing honesty in them. But Barbara told Rakesh and director Anurag Basu that she would give Kites a serious thought because she loved the script. And she was excited about a prospect in Bollywood. Like most love stories that start with indifference and go on to passion, the Barbara-Hrithik saga, too, took a similar route.

Does Hrithik believe Kites is the most passionate Bollywood film ever made? “This is the result of two-and-a-half years of my heart and soul’s investment,” he said. “Physically, too, a lot of my blood and sweat has gone into this film. I am sure everyone will take back something from the film.’’
