While Mallika Sherawat's much-awaited film Hisss will hit the theatres next week in India, its international version will not reach Hollywood before January next year.

Directed by Jennifer Lynch, Hisss was to have a grand release across US theatres on October 22, along with the desi version, reports Mid Day..

Govind Menon tells the tabloid, "We are not releasing it across USA now as we are building up the film a bit. The English version will release in January 2011. Many Hollywood films don't release on the same day across the world. There is some serious promotional work left for us to do."

The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu this week and in Malayalam the next week.

Menon adds, "The international version with subtitles will also release in Malaysia, Australia, UK, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa the same week. That's Phase 1. Phase 2 will see Hisss have a theatrical release in Hollywood. There has been no talk of a DVD release. We will also have the next release in East Asia in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and countries there."
