That seems to be the case as the industry is widespread with rumors surrounding the marketing of Kites. If rumors are to be believed then Rakesh is in melancholy ever since Kites failed to leave a mark on the international audience at the Cannes Film Festival.

As per close sources, Roshan senior wanted to give his son Hrithik a worldwide launch, by making Kites in English as well as Hindi. But he found no takers for Kites at the Cannes, as international buyers were not interested in an Indian movie. On the whole, that’s because Cannes is mainly a major market for Italian, Korean and French movies.

Not discouraged by his canned experience at Cannes, Roshan senior has moved on and is eyeing Hollywood to sell Kites. Now it’s reported that Roshan Sr. has shouldered the responsibility of striking a deal with Hollywood executives, and allotted 20 days from his schedule for this purpose.

With Kites still on the production floor and such rumors afloat, it surely would be very disappointing for the Roshans to find an overseas market for the movie.
