Chandni Chowk to China (shortened to CC2C) is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language martial arts action comedy film[4] directed by Nikkhil Advani and stars Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone, with Mithun Chakraborty and Hong Kong action cinema actor Gordon Liu among the co-stars. In addition to being shot in China, many parts of the film were shot in Bangkok, Thailand,[5][6] although some of the China scenes were shot in sets on the Shanghai Film Studio.[6] The film revolves around a vegetable cutter from Chandni Chowk in Delhi who finds himself on an adventure in China after the residents of an oppressed village deem him to be the reincarnation of a slain Chinese revolutionary.
Distributed in the U.S. and co-produced by Warner Bros., it is the third Bollywood movie made and distributed in partnership with a major Hollywood studio, following Sony's Saawariya (2007) and Walt Disney Pictures' animated feature Roadside Romeo (2008).[7] It is Warner Bros. Pictures' first Hindi film.[8] Released on 16 January 2009.[9] Indiagames had also released a mobile video game based on the film.[10]
