Ride on ‘jugaad’ with Made in China

- Made in China, produced by Maddock Films in associatio­n with Jio Studios, releases this Diwali 2019. The film is directed by Mikhil Musale, who makes his Hindi directoria­l debut after winning a National Award for his Gujarati film, Wrong Side Raju (2016).

After the success of Stree (2018) and Luka Chuppi, producer Dinesh Vijan is back with yet another quirky, out-of-the-box story this Diwali with Made in China. Celebratin­g the spirit of entreprene­urship and the journey of a Gujarati businessma­n, Raghu Mehta, Made in China is headlined by Rajkummar Rao, Mouni Roy, Boman Irani along with Paresh Rawal, Sumeet Vyas and Gajraj Rao. This film, produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, promises to be an incredible follow up to the commercial­ly viable yet noteworthy content line-up that the makers are well known for.

“Right from the time that Mikhil (Musale) brought this script to Maddock, to us partnering with Jio Studios and to signing on this exceptiona­l cast — Made in China has been a product of grit and perseveran­ce. Ironically, these are also the two key elements that define Raghu Mehta’s jugaadu business journey in the film,” says producer

Dinesh Vijan.

Talking about his process of backing projects and assessing their merit, he says,

“Our ideology for choosing subjects is based entirely on the power of a story and its ability to connect with the audience. We believe that films are one of the most powerful mediums and they must be used as much to entertain as it is to instill change and hopefully, evolution. Made in China ticked all those boxes for us and helped us reaffirm our faith in ensuring that audiences get their money’s worth while being entertaine­d and getting some food for thought.”
