The shooting of Rakesh Roshan’s Kites started in the month of July in US. Earlier it was an 80-day schedule in places like New Mexico, Las Vegas but now they have extended it up to October.
A source close to Hrithik Roshan reveals, "The first schedule has been extended up to October. The whole cast and crew is stationed in New Mexico where Hrithik and Barbara Mori are going to shoot a special song. For it the whole crew was waiting for the perfect atmosphere. This time the Roshans will be not attending the Ganpati festival as well because of this which takes place at Sanjay Khan’s house."
Further, the source says, "We want to complete the first schedule because the Roshans are planning to release the film by May 2009. If we shoot the major portions of the film in Mexico the second schedule will start in the last week of November-December so let’s see."
The fast schedule of Kites is a primary concern as Barbara Mori will be busy later on with her other international projects. In the film she plays the love interest of Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik is a casanova who tries wow both Kangana Ranaut and Barbara Mori. The film budgeted at 60 crores.
