Akshay
Kumar
starrer
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
(CCTC)
is
said
to
be
inspired
by
Hollywood's
animated
blockbuster
Kung
Fu
Panda
(KFP).
According
to
sources,"In
both
the
films
the
main
character
feels
like
a
loser
who
must
fulfill
his
destiny
by
rising
to
an
occasion
and
fighting
the
demons
who
want
to
destroy
the
empire.
CCTC
is
actually
KFP
meets
Bollywood."
A
few
similarities
seen
in
both
the
films
are
that
in
Kung
Fu
Panda
the
main
character
is
a
panda
and
is
voiced
by
Jack
Black
who
is
a
cook.
In
Chandni
Chowk
to
China
the
main
character
is
Akshay
who
is
a
cook
himself,
and
his
name
is
Sidhu.
In
KFP,
Po
leaves
his
hometown
to
fulfill
his
dreams
while
in
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
Sidhu
leaves
Delhi
to
go
to
China
to
fulfill
his
dreams.
After
leaving
home
they
both
tend
to
overcome
their
weakness
and
learn
martial
arts
on
reaching
their
destinations.
Both
the
movies
are
based
in
China
with
Kung
Fu
and
royalty.
It's
also
said
that
the
potato
slicing
scene
which
is
shown
in
the
promos
of
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
is
also
similar
to
a
scene
in
KFP
where
Po
is
shown
slicing
vegetables.
The
only
uncommon
factor
in
both
these
films
is
that
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
is
a
live
action
film
and
has
a
heroine
who
is
paired
opposite
Akki
while
KFP
was
an
animated
flick
without
any
love
angle
to
it.
When
asked
the
producer
Rohan
Sippy
about
the
similarities
between
both
the
films
he
said
that
he
had
not
seen
KFP
but
as
per
the
stories
he
has
heard
there
seem
to
be
a
few
similarities.
But
he
also
said
that
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
was
written
three
years
back
and
the
story
is
based
on
modern
day
China
so
it's
just
a
matter
of
co-incidence
that
so
many
similarities
have
cropped
up.
The
director
of
the
film
Nikhil
Advani
was
not
around
for
any
comments.
