Kites Release Date shifted Again

The movie will now be released on 15th January 2010 to mark Hrithik's 10th year of acting(Kaho na Pyaar hai realeased on 14th January 2000). The distribution rights of Kites have been sold to Reliance Big Pictures for a large amount of Rs 150 crores. It is a record till date for Bollywood.
We just hope that this one is the final date.

The latest rumour doing the rounds in the trade circles is that Kites may not release on January 15 next year at all! Instead the movie might hit the screens almost a month before the scheduled date – ie December 18, 2009.

Apparently it is Rakesh Roshan's idea to push for a December release and director Anurag Basu and the film's star Hrithik Roshan have been working overtime on the post-production aspects.

According to a source, "The film is now on the editing table and they are gearing up for a December 18 release. The promos of the movie are also being readied for the release."

It seems Rakesh Roshan is keen that the film's release does not clash with Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots, which releases on December 25.

"Rakesh Roshan also wants to ensure that Kites be the solo release of the week. Hrithik Roshan has not had a release after Jodhaa Akbar and he has completely focused on Kites for the past year. So everyone is keeping their fingers crossed," source

However when contacted Rakesh Roshan he said, "Nothing has been finalised as yet."
