So far, Rakesh Roshan’s productions including “Koi… Mil Gaya” (2003) and “Krrish” (2006) have been very desi in their appeal. “Kites” is being taken to an international audience and Cannes is the first stop, therefore very important.
“We hope to pitch ‘Kites’ as our production house’s first truly international product. Cannes is a very important venue for international cinema. That’s why we’ve made sure to complete the film in time. Anurag and I have been working against time to do do, but we’ve managed,” said Rakesh Roshan.
Rakesh Roshan says that his visit to Cannes with the film “Kites” has nothing to do with the current producers-multiplex deadlock.
“Why should the strike in the multiplexes affect our visit to Cannes? We aren’t breaking any of conditions laid down during the strike. We’re not screening our film publicly or for media at Cannes. This is a screening only for potential buyers from the West,” he said.
