For
a
while
it
seemed
a
lost
opportunity
for
the
hyper-anxious
team
of
the
Kites
cast
and
production
members
who
were
in
New
York
for
the
premiere
on
Sunday.
The
team
comprising
of
Hrithik
Roshan,
Barbara
Mori,
Sussanne
Roshan,
Rakesh
Roshan
and
wife
Pinky
Roshan,
Anurag
Basu
and
his
wife
plus
senior
members
of
the
Reliance
Big
Pictures
was
supposed
to
fly
out
of
New
York
after
the
premiere
on
Monday
evening
for
the
London
premiere
at
Leicester
Square
on
Tuesday.
That's
when
the
ash
clouds
struck
again
and
almost
all
the
flights
to
Europe
had
to
be
cancelled
or
diverted.
On
Monday
morning
the
Kites
team
waited
anxiously
for
the
verdict.
Not
being
able
to
reach
London
in
time
for
the
premiere
would
have
meant
huge
losses.
However
the
team
arrived
in
London
from
New
York
late
Monday
evening.
Sanjeev
Lamba,
the
CEO
of
Reliance
Big
Picture,
says
"Flights
carrying
all
of
us
landed
on
Monday
evening.
We
were
in
American
and
British
airlines.
Both
landed
safely
and
on
time."
