HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Salman Khan was the first and only choice for 'Marigold'19th July 2007 14.00 IST By Agencies The director of Marigold Willard Carroll says that Bollywood star Salman Khan was his first and only choice for the film. 'Marigold', Salman's first Hollywood venture is set for a worldwide release on August 17. 
Speaking at the music launch of the film in Mumbai Tuesday night, Carroll said Salman was his first and only choice. ''I have always felt that he has unpredictability, sincerity and charm to appeal to the American and international audiences. His commitment to this film was unwavering. Much of the screenplay's accuracy in portraying contemporary Indian family life and the Bollywood film industry is due to his active participation in its development,'' the director said. Carroll has who produced and directed Hollywood stars like Sean Connery, Angelina Jolie, Dennis Quaid and Gillian Anderson in his last film ''Playing by Heart'' (1999). Very unusual for a Hollywood film, 'Marigold' has song and dance sequences and the director is excited about his new experiment. Carroll said 'Marigold' is a musical romantic film about a young American woman, who travels to India and finds her life transformed in the most unexpected ways by her experiences and adventures. Carroll has also plans to make more films with Indian actors. He said that he was determined to make a movie with the best of Indian and western cultures and film making styles. ''I have watched more than 100 movies of DVD. The best of them have a spirit and energy that reminded me of the great Hollywood musicals of 40s and 50s,'' he added. He said 'Marigold' is an English film with five Hindi and three English songs. ''The film has been dubbed in Hindi for release in the interiors of the country,'' he added. The music has been released on the BIG Music and Home Entertainment label, which is a Reliance ADAG Venture. Salman made yet another style statement by making an appearance in an unshaven look, cap and earrings. Apart from Hollywood actress Ali Larter , the film also stars Vikas Bhalla, Simone Singh, Suchitra Pillai, Kiran Juneja Sippy, Nandana Sen and Vijendra Ghatge. Carroll said music forms an integral component of the film's story. There are seven original songs, composed by Shankar Ehsan Loy and penned down by Javed Akhtar and American singer-songwriter Truth Hurts.
