Kangna not invited to Cannes - Page 2

^^Same here but I do hope the film does well for Kangana's sake. She has worked hard for the film and I do want her hardwork to pay off in a positive way. Everyone is fake in the industry and even Kangana has admitted on Oye It's Friday that just because she is an outsider, they tend to treat her differently compared to others.

Maybe because she is a young Himachali girl with what is perceived by typical Indian mentality to be "verni" or "dehati" English accent. For them she is not convent educated enough. God this makes my blood boil. What is with white and convent accent obsesssed bollywood!!!!! They rejected Frieda for being dark and they time and again put Kangana down for her NON pseudoBrit-Indo accent.

*rolls eyes*.

I know this girl will make it big one day. She is very unique. I only hope she will become famous globally and not just in bollywood. We need more self-sufficient, young, vibrant, non-bollywood related beauties like Kangana!!! I'm sick of the star kids.

Screw the Roshans, I couldn't care less about them. This movie will probably stink anyway.

I couldn't agree more. What a shame really, but not at all surprising. Anurag Basu is probably what got her to say yes to this project, and I hope he didn't completely edit alot of her role out to give Barbara more footage. Even in Fashion, Kangana shined despite not being the lead. My futile hope is that she will be able to do the same here.

I didn't know she was on Oye It's Friday. Thank you for sharing that, Sonam; I will try to look for it.😃

Why was Kangna not invited to Cannes for Kites promotion?

By Subhash K. Jha, May 20, 2009 - 10:30 IST

Director Anurag Basu, producer Rakesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan have returned to Mumbai from Cannes while Barbara Mori, happy with her moment of red-carpeted fame has gone back to Mexico; all happy at the way the 9-minute trailer of Kites has been received at the international jamboree.

But the one voice of dissent in the glamorous event that we cannot hear, thanks to the din of clinking champagne glasses, is Kangna Ranaut's.

After the recent Adhyayan-Shahana Goswami episode where Kangna was linked to Kites' other leading lady Barbara Mori's brother (who apparently has no interest in women), Kangna has voluntarily gone into a shell, from which she was more than willing to emerge long enough to attend the Cannes event for Kites.

But no one invited Kangna! Strange, considering she's the leading lady of the film. Says a source close to the actress, "Kangna was not told to accompany Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik and Anurag Basu, although the director Anurag is very close to her and in fact was instrumental in recommending her for the role in Kites. We believe the team wanted to focus on the Hrithik-Barbara pair to give Kites a more international crossover appeal at Cannes."

But doesn't it appear exceedingly strange that the film's leading lady was left out at such an important event, just to spotlight the leading man with another pair?

When questioned, Rakesh Roshan washes his hands off the matter. "We ourselves were not sure till the last minute of what has happening, and who was going or not. Even my brother Rajesh Roshan who was done the Kites music was left out because of the last-minute flurry. I think our co-producers Big Pictures would be the best people to comment on why Kangna couldn't go."

A representative of Big Pictures laughs off the matter saying, "I think Mr. Rakesh Roshan would be able to comment on why Kangna wasn't at Cannes."http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/2009/05/20/12896/index.html[/QUOTE]
