Chandni Chowk to China is also important for the veteran director because it is his first action movie. Till now, he mainly worked in romantic movies. Before shooting the movie, Akshay Kumar made him watch martial art movies every morning and explained him the subtext. By the time, Nikhil was about to shoot Chandni Chowk to China, he got a good understanding of martial art movies. Nikhil says:
“Before I started making this film my interest in the martial arts was restricted to Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee, and the Crouching Tigers of the world. But Akshay brought out the hidden dragon in me. He made me watch a lot of action scenes..”
As the title of the movie says, a large portion of the movie was shot in China. The team stayed in China for 95 days and shot for 89 days in Shanghai and other places in China. An action sequence was also shot on the Great Wall of China. Because of the complicated post-production work, the release of the movie has been pushed to Diwali in October.
