When Hrithik was not good enough for Barbara!

Bollywood hunk Hrithik Roshan may be considered a Greek god but this didn’t quite convince his co-star - the Spanish beauty Barbaba Mori initially, when she was told that she’d be romancing him in ‘Kites’.

Mumbai: Hrithik Roshan may be considered a Greek god but this didn’t quite convince his co-star - the Spanish beauty Barbaba Mori initially, when she was told that she’d be romancing him in ‘Kites’. So concerned was Barbara after checking some of Hrithik’s videos on the net that she developed second thoughts while signing up for Rakesh Roshan’s most ambitious project. Hrithik sprang to action the moment he knew about Barbara’s reluctance and immediately took remedial steps. When he met Barbara before the shooting of ‘Kites’, he gave her DVDs of three of his films – ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, ‘Lakshya’ and ‘Dhoom 2’. And that did the job. Talking to the media, Hrithik explained, "When dad approached Barbara for ‘Kites’ and told her I would be her co-actor, she logged on to the internet and saw some of my rubbish videos on YouTube. She wasn`t very excited. When she met me, I wanted her to see some of my better work so that she was convinced that I was a good actor and performer. I made sure she saw all the DVDs because she didn`t have a clear picture about Indian cinema. It also changed her opinion about me,"" On being asked about Barbara`s reaction after watching the films, Hrithik said, "Not only she, but everyone from her side who saw these three films was very, very impressed.” Well, there is no denying that, for sure!
