Kites inspired by Matchpoint
Author: Subhash K Jha Date: 19 May 2008

Anurag Basu's next is inspired by Woody Allen's tale of love and betrayal. Rohit Roy is also set to direct an adaptation


Making A Point: Chitrangda Singh and Nandana Sen
After directing a short film (the Shabana-Naseer starrer Rice Plate) for Sanjay Gupta's Dus Kahaniyaan, Rohit Roy will direct two more projects.

One of which is inspired by Woody Allen's tale of love and betrayal, Matchpoint. The other project is an acton flick Jazba for producer Sanjay Gupta.

Says Rohit, "I heard that Anurag Basu is also doing Woody Allen's Matchpoint. I'm worried.

Because I'm directing a desi adaptation for producers Azam Khan and Parvez Damania."

While Rohit will play the male lead (but naturally!) he has signed Nandana Sen to play the wife.

The super-selective Chitrangda Singh is being pencilled in to play the other woman. She'll obviously have a lot of steamy scenes to perform. "It's all about adultery and lust.

So there'll be lovemaking scenes. Chitrangda has liked the subject and she's most probably on. I'm lucky to be directing her."

Rohit is currently shooting a sensuous item song with newbie Hazel for the film Mittal Versus Mittal.

"It's one of those item numbers where both of us have to be ultra-sensuous. I guess it is preparation for things to come," Rohit chuckles mischievously.

BLOODY hell, Matchpoint had REALLY REALLY REALLY steamy scenes between Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson...If Kites is an exact remake, then it wouldn't pass the censor boards without a PG-13 certificate (unless of course, the Roshans bribe them, but even then it is impossible...) Match point had everything... infidelity, pregnancy,
murder... And Hrithik would be a cold blooded murderer, who murders an old lady and his mistress ...What a departure from his 'saving the world' Krrish image😛

^ hehe.. if Kites has the exact same sexual content Matchpoint did, then i guess people will forget hrithik's kiss with aishwarya in D2 totally.😆😆😆 they'll probably be talking about the steamy scenes for another half a decade.😆😆

hrithik as a cold blooded murderer would be something different & interesting to watch. JRM performed excellently in Matchpoint, hrithik has got some big shoes to fill.😉

havent seen Matchpoint, but the way you describe the movie sounds like a big challenge for Hrithik!
No wonder they have signed a Hollywood actress for the movie, cuz of the steamy scenes..
but are those scenes really that hot and steamy? sounds interesting though!
Hmmm..I can already imagine Hrithik seducing the girl... 😳

^ believe me hun. Kites will be a big challenge for hrithik if it's a exact remake of MatchPoint.

you're so right. i don't think even the boldest bollywood actress would be able to do the sort of steamy scenes scarlett did in the original film. you should watch MP & then decide for yourself whether the scenes are really steamy or so-so. people have different tastes na?😊

hrithik will be an excellent ladykiller but it's the murderer part i'm eager to watch now.😆😆

There is no way the scenes are going to be as steamy as Match Point. If they want a general audience for the film, they would have to avoid an A certificate. Bollywood is good at making steamy scenes w/o a proper kiss. I am sorry but am I the only one that gets grossed out when I see some hero rubbing his face against the whole body of a heroine. I would much rather prefer a proper kiss like that between JRM and Parminder at the end of Bend it Like Beckham. It was cute and it got the message across.

IF u read any of hte itnerviews reg Kites by Rakesh ROshan and Hrithik, then you'll know that an integral part of hte story is tht the girl is Spanish n the main plot is abt how two ppl from different cultures fall in love......Having a Spanish girl was a requirement for the film.

How on earth does tht fit in with Matchpoint's story?

You're in good company...😃

Honestly, what Bollywood shows is worse, so blatantly vulgar...Don't get me started...A kiss, if done properly, is much classier...

Remake of Matchpoint or not, hopefully Rakesh Roshan's next is sight better than Krrish...The songs and picturisation of Krrish were 🤢...
