Hollywood Goes Bollywood
Friday May 13, 2005
In what marks a new trend in the making, American filmmaker Willard Carroll is shooting his first Bollywood production. Salman Khan stars in "Marigold: An Adventure in India," which is currently filming in Bombay. Khan, a major superstar in India, plays an Indian choreographer who meets an unsuccessful American actress (Ali Larter) who is stranded in India and forced to work in a Bollywood movie to get back home. A huge multi-million dollar industry in Asia, Bollywood films are gaining global popularity with such recent hits as "Monsoon Wedding" and "Bride and Prejudice."
