"The film looks really good and reactions of those who have seen some parts of CHADNI CHOWK TO CHINA have been quite positive.
We have no doubts that with our potpourri of exciting elements and very talented international cast and crew, this film will succeed in exciting audiences worldwide", says Mr Ramesh Sippy, a veteran in the Hindi film industry and one of the most respected senior members of the film industry.
Known for his keen eye for finer details in film making, Ramesh Sippy was stunned when he walked into the village set that was created for CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA. Unable to conceal his excitement, he was quick in complimenting Nikhil and his crew that the village set looked like 'Ramgarh' (the mythical village where SHOLAY was set).
Confirms Nikhil Advani, "Yes, Mr. Sippy was quite excited with what he saw. With words like these coming from him, we were sure that we were doing the job right. It came as reassurance that we could get the right authenticity during filming CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA."
Meanwhile Rohan Sippy ensured that the film's extravaganza and universal appeal found one of the best international filmmaking house to back it up.
"We knew that with this material that combined the two countries that have captured the modern imagination - India and China - and amalgamating their martial arts spectacle with our song and dance extravaganzas, we had the potential to go beyond the general audience for Bollywood movies.
This is why I didn't hesitate in taking the film to Warner Bros. I am glad that they too found the preposition exciting enough."
