Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan along with his Mexican co-star model Barbara Mori unveiled a teaser trailer and some key art posters of their much talked-about film Kites at the Cannes Film Festival Friday. Directed by Anurag Basu, known for his films Gangster and Life in a Metro, the film will also star Kangana Ranaut, Nick Brown and Kabir Bedi in pivotal roles.

Kites is heavily marketed by co-production company BIG Pictures and scheduled for commercial release in the last quarter of 2009.

‘Kites is a story of love that goes beyond barriers, boundaries and cultures. With an internationally renowned crew and crisp story telling, we have attempted to create a film which we feel has a scope to reach wider world audience and set new benchmarks,’ said Hrithik.

Also present at the event was Hrithik’s father Rakesh Roshan who has not only produced the film under his banner Filmkraft Productions but also written it.

‘With each of our films we have tired to push the envelope with path breaking technique, storytelling and novel presentation. A film like ‘Kites’ has never been attempted in India before. This is our attempt to tap the mainstream international audience and we are hopeful that with an able partner like BIG Pictures, we will be able to meet this objective,’ said Rakesh Roshan.
