The 2009 action-comedy film Chandni Chowk To China, starring Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone, was a box office disappointment. In a recent interview, Ranvir Shorey, who was part of the film, pointed fingers at the director and producer for its failure. Shorey, who praised the film's script, claimed that the execution fell short. He stated, "The script was better than the film, and this lack of execution lies in the hands of the producer and director." The actor's comments echo a similar sentiment expressed by the film's director, Nikkhil Advani, in a 2021 interview. Advani attributed the film's failure to an overabundance of creative input, which led to a lack of cohesive direction. Chandni Chowk To China, which had a budget of ₹65 crore, collected only ₹53.45 crore at the box office and received mixed reviews. The film's storyline revolves around Sidhu, a simple cook from Delhi's Chandni Chowk who is mistakenly believed to be the reincarnation of a legendary Chinese warrior. The film featured a star-studded cast, including Mithun Chakraborty and Hong Kong actor Gordon Liu, but ultimately failed to leave a lasting impact on audiences.
