Barbara Mori was afraid of the kissing scenes with Hrithik Roshan in Kites.
"When we were getting ready to shoot the kiss, I asked Hrithik why we are doing this. They don't show kissing in Indian films," she says with a chuckle.
The Uruguay-born and Mexico-raised TV and movie actress says, "We kiss in Mexican films all the time. Nobody makes a fuss over a kiss there. But I did not come across an Indian film with kissing scenes. Whenever I thought the man and woman are going to kiss, it would be like, cut, cut... suddenly the scene would change."
But Hrithik, she says, assured her that things are changing and the audiences are 'becoming broadminded.'
There are a lot of speculations about a bare-chest hugging scene from the English version of the film. But everyone connected with the movie says that there is nothing exploitative in both the versions, unless you object to a bikini-clad Mori.
The famed Hollywood director Brett Ratner who cut the remix version of Kites agreed with a journalist last week that its trailer looked sensuous and full of energy.
