Kangana Ranaut has moved out of Deepa Mehta‘s ‘Midnight’s Children‘.Previously Kangana had agreed to star in ‘Midnight’s Children‘, but now she has refused as she doesn’t have dates.

Kangana is busy with ‘Dhamaal 2‘ which follows Salman Khan’s movie that is to be directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. Moreover, she has committed for David Dhawan’s ‘Rascal’, Pritish Nandy’s film ‘Actor’ with Amitabh Bachchan, ‘Bullet Train’ by Priyadarshan, ‘Tanu Weds Manu’, ‘No Problem’ and ‘Knockout’.

When Deepa Mehta decided to make film out of Salman Rushdie‘s novel ‘Midnight’s Children‘, She also decided to have Kangana Ranaut in one of the roles, character named Emerald.

But now as she has refused, Deepa is really very upset as she had second and third choices for other characters but not for Emerald’s role.

The world and its favourite senorita would now get to hear Hrithik Roshan speak in Spanish. Besides the 2-hour-10-minute Hindi version and the 1-hour-30-minute English versions of Kites which are releasing worldwide in May, there will now be a Spanish version of the film to come a little later after the two other versions.

Confirming this development Sanjeev Lamba CEO of Reliance Big Pictures says, “Yes we are indeed on the verge of closing a deal for a Spanish version of Kites. While the Hindi and English versions would cater to a mass audience across the globe keen on seeing Hrithik Roshan, we must not disregard Barbara Mori’s fan following in the Spanish belt.”

“The only difference between the Hindi and English versions would be the length. Brett Ratner who has edited the English version took out all the songs and some of scenes which were seen too Indian in spirit. Otherwise both versions are the same in spirit. Out in the West, audiences don’t have the patience to sit through lengthy foreign films. In the English version that Brett Ratner has cut, everything happens super-fast and snappy,” says Lamba.

The length of the Spanish version is expected to be the same as the English version of Kites.

Though it is not being said out aloud, Reliance Big Pictures hopes Kites would top the box-office statistics of 3 Idiots in the international market where the 2-hour-40-minute playing time of 3 Idiots was seen to be big hindrance for a wider acceptance by a non-diaspora audience.

The producers are looking at Kites as the Indian film that would finally crack the Western market.

“‘Kites‘ is not what the Bollywood formula is perceived to be in the West. The language of love is universal. We’re hopeful that this film will get a new profile of western audiences interested in Indian cinema,” said Lamba with fingers crossed.

Barbara is expected to play Hrithik‘s host in Mexico when the Spanish version of “Kites” releases there. In a manifestation of a cultural exchange programme, she has even offered to do a Spanish film with Hrithik.
