Kites has been withdrawn from theatres!

Heartbreak for all the Hrithik Roshan fans in Karnataka as his latest movie Kites has been withdrawn from theatres after a call of boycott by the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC).

Reason? KFCC accuses producer Rakesh Roshan of flouting the norms of the release of non-Kannada films in the state.

 

According to the norm, ‘Kites’ was given a special permission to release on 24 theatres, but exhibitor Big Cinemas planned to release it on 46 theatres. Normally, non-Kannada films are allowed release only on 21 theatres.

 

A meeting was called on Thursday to find a solution, but producer Rakesh Roshan gave it a miss.

 

KFCC President Basant Kumar Patil is quoted as saying: “There was a meeting but Rakesh Roshan did not turn up. But we are the supreme body and they can't violate the norms.”

 

In the past, Hindi films like 3 Idiots and My Name Is Khan have released in Karnataka in less than 24 theatres.
