Sriram
Raghavan's
Andhadhun,
one
of
the
most
talked
about
thrillers
of
Bollywood
in
2018,
is
all
set
to
release
in
China.
The
film
will
release
with
the
title
'Piano
Player'
in
China,
which
is
emerging
as
a
significant
market
for
Indian
mainstream
films.
Produced
by
Viacom18
Motion
Pictures
&
Matchbox
Pictures,
Andhadhun
stars
Tabu,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Radhika
Apte.
The
story
of
the
film
revolves
around
Simi,
a
desperate
small
time
actor-turned
wife
to
a
yesteryear
star.
The
story
takes
a
turn
when
she
is
caught
disposing
of
her
husband's
body
in
front
of
a
presumably
blind
pianist
Akash.
It
is
for
the
first
time
that
Raghavan's
film
is
releasing
in
China
and
the
director
is
suitably
excited
to
present
his
film
to
a
new
audience.
"I
am
super
thrilled
that
'Andhadhun'
is
releasing
in
China.
Ten
years
back,
on
a
visit
to
China,
I
walked
into
a
Beijing
Cafe
and
was
zapped
to
see
Nasir
Husain's
'Caravan'
playing
on
a
big
screen.
Dubbed
in
Chinese
except
for
the
songs.
I
was
told
the
film
was
the
favourite
Indian
film
of
that
generation.
I
am
curious
how
the
Chinese
audience
responds
to
our
musical
thriller,"
Raghavan
said
in
a
statement.
Viacom18
Studios
along
with
Eros
International
has
now
partnered
with
Tang
Media
Partners
to
release
the
thriller
in
China.
"I
am
happy
to
announce
that
Viacom18
Studios
has
secured
its
maiden
release
in
China
and
that
too
with
our
favourite
film
'Andhadhun'.
I
am
very
excited
about
our
film's
prospect
at
the
China
box
office
and
celebrating
what
is
a
major
first
for
the
studio,"
Ajit
Andhare,
COO,
Viacom18
Studios,
said.
"China
being
a
home
to
many
Bollywood
lovers,
has
made
Andhadhun
one
of
the
most
anticipated
release.
Fans
in
the
country
can
now
witness
the
magic
of
Andhadhun
unfold
in
theatres
across
the
country,"
added
Kumar
Ahuja,
President
-
Business
Development,
Eros
International.
Kevin
Tang
of
Tang
Media
Partners
said
Andhadhun
would
be
the
first
India
movie
in
thriller
genre
to
release
in
China.
