Salman Khan is extremely excited about his first English film, Marigold, to be released by this year-end. Khan stars with Hollywood actress Ali Larter. The two actors shared a brilliant equation on the sets. So much so, that Khan even gifted her a replica of the Taj Mahal before she returned to America.A source says, “They were shooting a song sequence in Agra and Ali was mesmerised by the Taj.
She even took a tour of the monument and clicked pictures with Salman and the crew. During lunch break, she went shopping with a local guide as she wanted to buy a replica of the Taj Mahal.”

Disappointed

The source says Ali returned disappointed as she couldn’t get a replica made of authentic marble. When Salman came to know about this, he immediately arranged it.

“Bhai knows a lot of people in Agra, so all he had to do was make one phone call,” adds the source.

Salman got the replica gift wrapped for Ali and gave it to her a day before she left. “Bhai has always been generous to his co-stars. He didn’t want Ali to go home disappointed, so he got the best piece,” says the source.

Holly outing

Willard Carroll, whose earlier works include Playing By Heart (starring Sean Connery and Angelina Jolie), has directed Marigold. The film is a romantic comedy about an American actress Marigold Lexton (Ali Larter), who gets stranded in Mumbai.

Later, she gets a cameo role in a Bollywood musical and meets Salman, who plays a choreographer. Marigold has been shot in Agra, Rajasthan, Mumbai and Goa.

The film is nearly two hours long and has seven songs composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. It has been written by Javed Akhtar.
