Seems Bollywood is conservative as ever and expressing real emotion and action in a movie is still taboo. Hrithik Roshan has been a victim of a lip-lock again. This time with his Mexican co-star Barbara Mori in his family production 'Kites'.
The actor, however, asserts that the actress did help him discard his inhibitions and they kissed like real-life couples! Earlier, Hrithik was in the headlines for locking lips with Aishwarya Rai in 'Dhoom 2' and 'Jodhaa Akbar'.
Now, even Hrithik's father Rakesh Roshan besides Hrithik's wife Suzanne seem to be upset with the growing relations between Hrithik and Mori following their intimate kissing scene in 'Kites.
'For Rakesh Roshan it is the first international project and the movie is being screened at the on-going Cannes international film festival.
Hrithik says he would be more than happy and completely comfortable watching those kissing scenes with his wife, son and parents when the film is released.
He justifies the scene as the demand of the occasion, i.e. the script. 'Kites' is a love story. It's about people in love. And what do people in love do to express their mutual feelings? In fact, it was Barbara Mori who told him how silly they'd look on screen while shying away from expressing love naturally."
Hrithik recalls that he and Barbara were shooting a tough and dangerous action sequence in Santa Fe city in New Mexico State in the US. Both were supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height! Director Anurag Basu suggested that.
He kiss Barbara since both were doing something death defying and dangerous and potentially lethal. So, Hrithik reached out and kissed her on the cheek. But, Barbara asked if Suzanne would kiss him on the cheek under the same situation? This floored Hrithik, he claims, and then he just kissed her the way real-life couples would, naturally on the lips. Amen!
