There is a strong reason behind why Akshay Kumar gave a Thumbs Up to Chandni Chowk To China. Though technically, he was on board already doing the film, the thing that clinched the deal was a specially designed poster of the film.
Rohan Sippy, 'Shridhar (Raghavan) confirmed that the writer and he had only Akshay in their minds for the part. They wanted him so badly that they actually created a poster with him in it to give him a feel for the film. The poster made an impact on Akshay and to such an extent that he wanted to sign on right away. In fact it happens to be the same concept that is being used in the teaser posters of the movie.
Moreover, the story of the clumsy Sidhu, whose journey to China gives him a chance to believe in himself, build his identity and save a village resonated somewhere with Akshay, that made him even more keen.
“I don't think we could have envisioned any other actor in the role of Sidhu. Akshay has breathed life into this role. People will feel sympathy when he is a fumbling Sidhu and will cheer when he beats up the bad guys. There are very few actors who can convince the audience to accept them as a simpleton and as a Kung Fu expert within the same movie”, says Rohan.
The Chinese look for the superstar was created by Jaimal Odedra who has been a part of the London fashion industry for 17 years, and is working for Bollywood for the first time. He clearly had a lot on his plate when he was signed on to design the looks of Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone in their film together, Chandni Chowk to China.
Nikhil Advani says that beyond being an exceptionally versatile and professional actor, Akshay Kumar is one of the very few actors in Bollywood who has the physique and agility to have carried off the tough demands of the role. He added that he was a daredevil and loved performing stunts and revelled in them when they were risky.
