The director who produced the film Hindi Medium earlier, told The Mumbai Mirror: “It was incredible to experience the overwhelming response of the Chinese audience to Hindi Medium. I had the privilege of being there during its release in China and more than the excitement of the film’s impending box-office success, I was bowled over by the love that the film received. The realisation that we have such similar cultures and that films can be made keeping both markets in mind is an exciting prospect for me. When I discussed the idea of Made In China with my associates there, they seemed as excited as I was which led to us creating the film.”
Talking about Rajkummar Rao, Dinesh said that Rao’s performance in Stree was commendable and that he was a highly versatile actor. Mouni Roy will be seen opposite. Made in China is expected to hit screens earlier in 2019.
On the work front, Rajkummar has a good line-up this year. While he will be seen in Stree opposite Shraddha Kapoor, he also has Fanne Khan with Aishwarya Rai and Anil Kapoor. He also plays the lead in 5 Weddings alongside Nargis Fakhri.
