Sonam Kapoor says no to Hrithik’s ‘Kites’; a role that Deepika was dying to clinch.

She is just one movie old, but Sonam sure reflects the attitude of a star as she has turned down one the biggest star in the business. Sonam was offered a role by Anurag Basu for his next tentatively titled ‘Kites’, but the young actress refused as the role demanded some bold love scenes.



Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan are both quite fond of Sonam and they sure tired to convince the actress to accept the offer, but the Kapoor girl simply rejected as the bold modern character in the movie would not go well with her girl-next-door image which has sure helped her build a huge fan base.



Deepika Padukone was lobbying hard to be a part of the movie, but Roshans did not sign her as she lacked the passion while dancing. Penelope Cruz was next on the list, but apparently she looks older to Hrithik.



After shopping for an actress for weeks in LA, Rakesh Roshan and Anurag have settled for the Japanese-Mexican beauty Barbara Mori. Deepika is disheartened as she was hopeful of bagging the role, but we are glad that at least for once Sonam managed to cut Deepika’s ‘Kite’ in style.
