Hrithik to sing in Kites

So what's common between Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt and Amitabh Bachchan? Well true, they are all superstars! But there's one more thing common to all of them and its playback singing. All have lent their voice whenever the script has demanded it so.
Now Hrithik Roshan has joined the league too as he recently recorded a song for his upcoming film 'Kites'. It was director Anurag Basu's brainwave to get the actor to sing a song for the film. And Basu vouches for Hrithik's singing capabilities. So here's another feather on Hrithik's already ornate cap.

"When we asked Hrithik to sing for 'Kites', he agreed to it without any fuss. He got trained and has sung very professionally. When you'll hear the song, it'll sound as if some professional singer has sung it. He is quite good at it," says Anurag Basu. But what made Basu try the stunt? "In fact, the scene demanded an actor's voice for that particular song. It could not have a playback singer singing in the background," says Mr Basu.

Music for 'Kites' has been scored by Hrithik's uncle and music-director Rajesh Roshan. The film, which is scheduled to release early next year, has been shot in various foreign locations including Mexico and Las Vegas. The last leg of the shooting is to take place in Mumbai shortly.

Hrithik is the new Serial Kisser !!!

If reports are to be believed, Hrithik Roshan could well be nicknamed Bollywood’s next serial kisser.

After the much-reported liplock between him and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Dhoom 2, Hrithik will supposedly pucker up for Anurag Basu’s Kites, which is being produced by Rakesh Roshan.

The kiss will enhance the chemistry between Hrithik and his co-star Barbara Mori, whose characters are attracted to each other but don’t speak the same language. But apparently the idea isn’t very appealing to Rakesh, who doesn’t want anything of the sort in his home production and has asked Anurag to be more subtle.

When sources spoke to Anurag, he laughed off the reports. “These are all rumours. Rakesh and I keep laughing about this. Every day we come to know about problems with a movie we haven’t yet started shooting for. First, there was talk about Deepika Padukone being cast in our movie, and now this. Let me tell you one thing: no director or producer will divulge details about a film, especially before shooting begins. We’re still writing parts of it and filming will start in July,” he says.

We guess Anurag’s given all those rumours a big kiss-off.
