Hrithik Roshan may have wrapped up his Kites shootu00a0 with co-star Barbara Mori months ago but he's still talking about how impressed he is with her work. Her "acting skills" and "professional attitude" have him floored. And Duggu has been recommending her to filmmakers willing to cast someone of foreign origin in upcoming flicks.



A source reveals that Hrithik even suggested that good friend Zoya Akhtar who's making a road trip movie with him, also cast Mori. The film is set in Spain and also stars Abhay Deol and Farhan Akhtar. Initially, Sonam Kapoor was being considered for the lead role opposite Hrithik, but that didn't work out. They decided to cast a character of non-Indian origin.

The source says, "It was Duggu's idea that they cast Barbara for the role. However, Zoya wasn't too convinced. She decided to hold auditions and cast someone else for the role. Casting for the female lead (opposite Hrithik) remains open."

Hrithik, though, is still keen on a chance of working with the Mexican beauty. "Whenever he meets producers or filmmakers, he only has words of praise for Barbara. It's clear that he definitely wants to work with her again irrespective of the fate of Kites, their upcoming release."
