The Kite Runner, one of this season's Oscar players, has been grounded due to concern for its child stars' lives.

Directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland) for Paramount Pictures' art-house division, Paramount Vantage, The Kite Runner is based on the 2003 bestselling novel by Afghan-American Khaled Hosseini.

The film chronicles three decades in Afghanistan's tumultuous history, focusing on the lives of Amir (played by Zekiria Ebrahimi), a wealthy boy from the politically powerful Pashtun clan, and his friendship with Hassan (Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada), the son of his father's servant and a member of the long-suffering Hazara tribe.
