Mori 'faces cuts from Indian censor board'

Barbara Mori's latest film has encountered problems with the Indian censor board.

The Mexican actress, who made her Indian cinema debut opposite Hrithik Roshan in Kites, will be seen next in La Mujer De Mi Hermano (My Brother's Wife).

A source for Mid Day said that the film, which releases in both Hindi and English, faced cuts from the censors.

"The Spanish version has frontal nudity and a lot of intimate lovemaking scenes. While the English version has retained some of those scenes, barring the frontal shot, the censor board is bound to suggest major cuts for the Hindi one," revealed the source.

The film, which released in other territories in 2005, has been given an Indian release after Mori's successful Bollywood debut.

In May this year, Kites became the first Indian production to break the US box office top 10.

Hrithik Roshan slaps the hot Barbara Mori!

Kites couple Hrithik Roshan and Barabra Mori are in news once again thanks to the smack on the latter's cheek. No, don't get us wrong, Hrithik didn't misbehave with the latin beauty but it was all a part of a scene.

Talking to a news daily about the Hrithik-Barbara chemistry, Anurag recalled a humorous event, “We were doing an intense scene which had a long dialogue. Towards the end, Barbara was supposed to slap Hrithik. We okayed the scene.

But Barbara asked me if it was possible to do a retake, because she wanted to slap Hrithik again. It was a prank, but I decided to play along. Duggu was very surprised when I told him we’d do the scene again because I’d already told him the earlier take was fine.”

Hrithik somehow got the whiff of it and towards the end of the shot he turned around and slapped Barbara.

“Barbara was shocked because just as she was about to slap him, Duggu ducked and slapped her instead. Then she realised that Hrithik had seen through her prank and everyone on the sets burst out laughing,” added Anurag with a laughter.
