Bhai’s international crash landing

Salman Khan and Ali Larter in Marigold

While Salman Khan has been shooting for his second international project, the remake of the Argentinian film Seven Dogs (2021), his first international project, an Indo- British film, Marigold (2007), was a huge failure. We recently learnt that the film’s director Willard Carroll, after directing this movie, stepped back from filmmaking, and Salman’s co-actor, Ali Larter, who aspired to have a career in Hindi films, bid adieu to her  Bollywood dreams. Despite its global appeal, Marigold tanked at the box office. According to trade experts, it was made on a budget of  R19 crore, but reportedly earned only Rs 2 crore globally. Putting his past experience behind him, Salman recently shot for his second international project in Saudi Arabia.
