Chandni Chowk to China : Bollywood’s first film shot in China
Chandni Chowk to China, Bollywood’s first film shot in China, headlines Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone with Bollywood veteran Mithun Chakraborty and Hong Kong veteran Gordon Liu playing important roles.
The Nikhil Advani helmed and Shridhar Raghavan penned action comedy is due for release on January 16, 2009.
The trailer actually shows Deepika more in action than Akshay. Scenes of Akshay show him in his best comic act. The sets look cool.
It is Warner Bros. Pictures’ second Bollywood film after Saas Bahu aur Sensex (2008).
The $12 million budget film, loosely based on Akshay Kumar’s life, is the story of a humble chef from Chandni Chowk, Delhi mistaken for the reincarnation of an ancient Chinese warrior by the villagers of an oppressed Chinese village.
Akshay Kumar has sung an entire song in the film, Chandni Chowk to China…Chandni Chowk se aayaa yeh ladka, with pop group Rhythm Dhol Bass.
The music has been given by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Kailash Kher and Bappi Lahiri. Music is in stores now.
