Dinesh Vijan is gearing up for a quirky
comedy Made In China. It was also reported
that Rajkummar Rao will be essaying the
role of the male lead, after which it was
revealed that Mouni Roy will be playing the
female lead in the film.
Raj plays a struggling Gujarati businessman
and Mouni a Mumbai girl who moves
to Ahmedabad after marrying him. "She's a
simple housewife, living in a lower-middle-
class locality, feisty and crazy about Raj.
She's by his side through his struggle and
pushes him to go to China when the
opportunity calls. Raj, who wants to give
her the best, crosses the Great Wall hoping
to become a successful entrepreneur. It's
the couple's fascinating journey, said a
source close to the development.
Interestingly, this is Rajkummar Rao's
second collaboration with Dinesh Vijan
after Stree with Shraddha Kapoor. Dinesh is
excited to reunite with the versatile
Rajkummar and has the sensual and
sensitive' Mouni on board.
"We wanted someone who'd connect with
the heartland and Mouni, a typical Indian
beauty, has a huge fan following. She has a
strong personality but gentle eyes and is a
good dancer which is essential for the role
as her character has a passion for classical
Indian dance. Mouni has started working
on her Gujarati dialect. Raj will start prep
soon and knowing the chameleon that he
is, I'm sure he'll quickly get under the skin
of the character, informs Dinesh.
The film will be directed by Gujarati director
Mikhil Musale whose 2016 thriller-drama
Wrong Side Raju had bagged the National
Award for Best Feature Film in Gujarati and
he now makes his debut in Bollywood.
Made In China is expected to kick off in
September in Mumbai, travelling to Gujarat
and subsequently to China.
