Marigold, a romantic comedy, is Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's first Hollywood film .It is targeted for release in April 2007.

Speaking about the tie up, Hungama managing director and CEO Neeraj Roy said, "With the success of providing Bollywood entertainment, the combination of Hollywood and Bollywood will give a new outlook and experience to the audience.

From providing music, imagery, video and games we are now preparing to introduce full features and this project of Marigold is a step in the same direction."

"Marigold is a perfect example of how Hollywood and Bollywood can co-operate to produce international quality films from India" said co-producer Sidhartha M Jain.

He further added "we used the best talent from Bollywood such as Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy for music, Anil Mehta as DOP, Nitin Desai for sets and a host of other Indian talent, who worked hand-in-hand with the US and UK crew. This event is ideally suited for such a film".
