"Kites is a story of love that goes beyond barriers, boundaries and cultures," Hrithik says. "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."

Barbara Mori says she is excited about the film. "Kites is my first international experience of working in a film with Indian cast and I must say it has been extremely overwhelming," she says. "I have cherished every moment of being a part of this film... it's been like being part of a family. I am glad Kites is being marketed at the Cannes film festival and looking forward to the response the film gets."
