The
world
and
its
favourite
senorita
would
now
get
to
hear
Hrithik
Roshan
speak
in
Spanish.
Besides
the
2-hour-10-minute
Hindi
version
and
the
1-hour-30-minute
English
versions
of
Kites
which
are
releasing
worldwide
in
May,
there
will
now
be
a
Spanish
version
of
the
film
to
come
a
little
later
after
the
two
other
versions.
Confirming
this
development,
Sanjeev
Lamba,
CEO
of
Reliance
Big
Pictures,
says,
“Yes,
we
are
indeed
on
the
verge
of
closing
a
deal
for
a
Spanish
version
of
Kites.
While
the
Hindi
and
English
versions
would
cater
to
a
mass
audience
across
the
globe
keen
on
seeing
Hrithik
Roshan,
we
must
not
disregard
Barbara
Mori"s
fan
following
in
the
Spanish
belt."
According
to
Lamba,
the
global
interest
in
watching
Hrithik
romance
Mori
puts
Kites
in
a
very
different
league
from
other
Bollywood
films.
Reliance
Big
Pictures
is
now
looking
at
releasing
a
larger
number
of
prints
globally
than
even
3
Idiots.1700
prints
of
3
Idiots
had
been
released
in
India.
Kites
is
expected
to
top
that
figure
with
approximately
1750
prints
in
India.
“We
will
release
around
2300
prints
across
the
world.
There
will
be
250
prints
in
the
US
and
100
in
the
UK",
informs
Lamba.
The
English
language
version
will
be
released
in
the
US
a
week
after
the
Hindi
version.
“The
only
difference
between
the
Hindi
and
English
versions
would
be
the
length.
Brett
Ratner
who
has
edited
the
English
version
took
out
all
the
songs
and
some
of
scenes
which
were
seen
too
Indian
in
spirit.
Otherwise
both
versions
are
the
same
in
spirit.
Out
West,
audiences
don"t
have
the
patience
to
sit
through
lengthy
foreign
films.
In
the
English
version
that
Brett
Ratner
has
cut
everything
happens
super-fast
and
snappy," says
Lamba.
The
length
of
the
Spanish
version
is
expected
to
be
the
same
as
the
English
version
of
Kites.
Though
it
is
not
being
said
out
aloud,
Reliance
Big
Pictures
hopes
Kites
would
top
the
box-office
statistics
of
3
Idiots
in
the
international
market
where
the
2-hour-40-minute
playing
time
of
3
Idiots
was
seen
to
be
big
hindrance
for
a
wider
acceptance
by
a
non-Diaspora
audience.
The
producers
are
looking
at
Kites
as
the
Indian
film
that
would
finally
crack
the
Western
market.
“Kites
is
not
what
the
Bollywood
formula
is
perceived
to
be
in
the
West.
The
language
of
love
is
universal.
We"re
hopeful
that
this
film
will
get
a
new
profile
of
western
audiences
interested
in
Indian
cinema," says
Lamba
with
finger
crossed.
Barbara
Mori
is
expected
to
play
Hrithik"s
host
in
Mexico
when
the
Spanish
version
of
Kites
releases.
In
a
cute
manifestation
of
a
cultural
exchange
programme
she
has
even
offered
to
do
a
Spanish
film
with
Hrithik.
