New Delhi, May 19: Mexican beauty Barbara Mori, who is paired opposite Hrithik Roshan in ‘Kites’, has been turning heads since the official teaser of the film came out but director Anurag Basu says the the actress was not hired for her sex appeal.
Hrithik has often been equated to a Greek God by Bollywood followers and his chemistry with Mori has been a talking point. The actor’s lip locking moments with Mori even led to rumours that his marriage with Suzzanne was in trouble.
However, film maker Anurag Basu insists that ‘Kites’ is much more than just a skin fest.
“Of course, Barbara is attractive; we all know that.
Still, it wasn’t just her sex appeal that made us sign her.
She has done so much good work in films as well as on TV.
