Commenting on the same Ramesh Sippy said “India & China have captured the public imagination like no other countries at this point in time. We're making a film that marries together the best of their filmmaking traditions- which merges Indian style dance and masala with Chinese Kungfu and Beijing Opera. And there could be no better partner than Warner to help us reach out to audiences worldwide.”
Blaise Fernandes, Country Manager for Warner Bros. Pictures (India) says, “We are excited to be a part of this production because of the outstanding talent that is associated with it”.
