After Hindi Medium, filmmaker Dinesh Vijan has geared up for another quirky comedy titled, Made in China with Rajkummar Rao and Mouni Roy. The film will roll in September in Mumbai, travelling to Gujarat and subsequently China. 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. Made in China marks the director's debut in Bollywood.


Rajkummar Rao plays a struggling Gujarati businessman and Mouni a Mumbai girl, who moves to Ahmedabad after marrying him. TAlking about their characters in the film, a source says, "She's a simple housewife, living in a lower-middle-class locality, feisty and crazy about Rao. 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.


Dinesh Vijan is excited to reunite with the versatile Rajkummar and have 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. She 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.
