3. Kites
Director: Anurag Basu
Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut, Barbara Mori
Kites is an intense romance with the kites in the title representing the meeting of two lovers who are then set adrift by circumstances much like kites are wont to do when being flown by experts. It seems a bit of a stretch but then there's no accounting for producer's fancies especially when the name has to necessarily start with a K.
Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming next produced by his dad Rakesh Roshan and directed by Anurag Basu. The film stars Hrithik along with two leading ladies, Kangana Ranaut and Mexican actress Barbara Mori. Our source reveals, “Kites has Hrithik playing a salsa teacher. Kangana plays a very rich girl and is shown as Hrithik’s dance student. The story is set in Las Vegas. In the course of learning Salsa from him, she falls madly in love with him. But then a twist in the tale takes place and the romantic story takes a thriller turn. Barbara Mori plays a Spanish speaking girl and will be seen in the first half of the film. In the film she speaks only in Spanish and Hrithik who plays the salsa teacher can’t speak a word of Spanish. So he speaks to her in Hindi and yet the two communicate and fall madly in love. But then something happens that forces the two to split and that’s where Kangana steps in. Kangana’s role is not bigger than that of Barbara’s

5. 3 Idiots
Cast: Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, Madhavan, Boman Irani
Chetan Bhagat hopes to do justice to his best book yet, Five Point Someone by bringing two big stars, Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor together for the first time for an adaptation of the book. The dismal failure of Hello! (also a Chetan Bhagat adaptation), will weigh heavily on the author's mind as the 3 Idiots is in production. Raju Hirani has played a huge part in bringing the stars together, and it poses quite a challenge to portray the 30+ actors as under 22 students.

6. Imtiaz Ali's next (Untitled)
Director: Imtiaz Ali
Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone
While his earlier two films, Jab We Met and Socha Na Tha revolved around the interaction between two youngsters, which eventually culminated in love, none of them were true blue romantic tales. However, writer-director Imtiaz Ali's next film starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone, is an intense romantic tale. Imtiaz had said, "This is going to be my first love story. Jab We Met and Socha Na Tha, both weren't love stories in the true sense of the term. In both the films, there was no romantic kick-start. Jab We Met had only one of the protagonists (Shahid Kapur) realising his love for the girl (Kareena Kapoor) who falls in love with him only towards the film's end." The film is a love story spread over two decades and will also mark the debut of British actor Florence.

7. Delhi Belly
Director : Abhinav Deo
Cast: Imran Khan, Kunal Roy Kapoor, Vir Das, Shehnaz Treasurywala
Imran Khan played the cute boy-next-door, followed by a menacing (tee hee) kidnapper. His newest avatar sees him as a comedian in Aamir Khan's next production, Delhi Belly. The language used in the film is reportedly 'strong' and looks to appeal to a niche market in the country and international audiences with this comedy in English. The film is directed by Abhinav Deo, son of yesteryear's star, Ramesh Deo.

8. Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani
Director: Rajkumar Santoshi
Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif
The shooting locations of this movie are Italy, Mumbai, and Goa. As the name suggest, Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani is a love story. Director Rajkumar Santoshi says, "Ranbir plays a guy who is wasting his time in his life. He is aimlessly fooling around. Along the way, he meets Katrina and falls in love with her. The entry of Katrina in Ranbir's life changes Ranbir completely. It's quite an adventure film."

9. New York
Director: Kabir Khan
Cast: John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh
New York is a contemporary story of friendship set against the larger than life backdrop of a city often described as the centre of the world. For most of us, larger events in the world are just headlines in the newspapers but these events can change our lives... forever. New York is one such story of three young friends whose beautiful lives are turned upside down by events beyond their control.

12. What's Your Raashee?
Director: Ashutosh Gowariker
Cast: Harman Baweja, Priyanka Chopra
Ashutosh Gowariker brings a hilarious book to life with What's Your Raashee? The movie is an adaptation of a Gujarati novel by Shri Madhu called Kimball Ravenswood. The romcom gives Harman Baweja just ten days to win over the love of his life - Priyanka Chopra (minus annoying stuffed toys mercifully).
The on-off real life pair's onscreen chemistry was thanda in Harman's debut film. Maybe they should consult their horoscopes on this one before placing their bets on it.

15. Hissss
Director: Jennifer Chambers Lynch
Cast: Irrfan Khan, Mallika Sherawat, Jeff Doucette
Hollywood combines with Bollywood to release Hissss, bringing to life the fabled sexy-serial-killing Naagin who is played by Mallika Sherawat. A ruthless American travels to the jungles of India and captures the Naagin's mate which sets off a vengeful journey. Filled with special effects, it remains to be seen if the movie will be good or as uncomfortable as Mallika's snake costume for the film. Apparently, she took so much time to get into the costume that they decided to not give her any dialogue in the film.
