‘Andhadhun’ was released on October 5 last year, is inspired from the 2010 French short film ‘L’Accordeur’ (The Piano Tuner). It earned close to Rs 75 crores at the Indian box office. The film also stars Zakir Hussain and Anil Dhawan in other pivotal roles.
China is one of the world’s biggest box office centres. The demand for Indian films has witnessed a comprehensive growth in China in the last three years. Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are some of the most popular stars in China. Many Indian films like ‘Dangal’, ‘PK’, ‘Secret Superstar’, ‘Hichki’, ‘Sultan’ and others have received an overwhelming response in China.
