Deepika Padukone was a very strong contender to star in Rakesh Roshan’s 'Kites'. She was supposedly approached to play the love interest of Hrithik Roshan in the film.
Directed by Anurag Basu, ’Kites’ had an ensemble of stars, with Hrithik Roshan and Mexican actress Barbara Mori playing lead. It had Kangana Ranaut and Kabir Bedi in supporting roles.
Why Deepika said no to ‘Kites’?
There might have been several reasons why Deepika refused the offer. According to the industry insiders, Deepika was uncomfortable with the kissing and intimate scenes that would have been in store for her if she had accepted the film. Deepika was also hesitant to wear bikini at that point.
However, 'Kites’ turned out to be the biggest disappointment for Bollywood. The film crashed at the box office with net business of Rs 342.60 million (Rs 34.26 crore) as net collections across India.
‘Kites’ has under-performed in the key international markets too. In U.K, despite the massive number of screens it was released in, the film collected half of what was expected.
In U.S, the film featured in the Top 10 list, but given the number of screens (208), the opening weekend numbers became disappointing.
Deepika keen to work with Hrithik
According to industry insiders, Deepika is keen to work with Duggu as hints are there that if ‘Krissh’ sequel comes out, it will have no one but Deepika in the lead opposite Hrithik Roshan.
According to sources, Rakesh Roshan will be directing the film apart from producing it. It is also believed that Roshan Sr. has had early discussions with the SFX Team and a big crew of foreign technicians, who worked in ‘Krrish’. They have been bouncing off ideas on where to take the character and how to develop it.
However when asked, Rakesh Roshan denies the report saying, “I’m not even sure whether I am making the Krrish sequel as of today.”
