Two versions were shot simultaneously - one predominantly in Hindi and an "international" version in English.
According to Brett Ratner there was no re-shoot. He just cut the movie, and kept the story. The only correction he made was deleting dance sequence which didn't drive the story forward. He also added a new music track and big sound designs, and kept some footage which was originally removed in the Hindi version - 'more racy, more sexuality' - for international audiences.
The love theme is a thinly disguised copy of Enya's Aniron.
The international version will be 90 minutes runtime, as opposed to the Hindi version, which is 130 minutes long. This version will delete all songs, with alternative footage, added action scenes and new sound scores, aiming the movie squarely at a younger, action orientated audience.
Hollywood's composer Graeme Revell was said to be composing music for Brett Ratner's version of Kites.
