Made In China: When Rajkummar Rao aka Raghu Bhai met Leonardo DiCaprio

The makers of Made In China are leaving no stone unturned to create a good pre-release buzz about the film. The movie stars Rajkummar Rao and Mouni Roy in the lead roles along with actors like Boman Irani, Paresh Rawal, Amyra Datur, Sumeet Vyas and Gajraj Rao in pivotal roles.

The trailer has received a good response and the songs, Odhani, Sanedo and Nari Nari are already chartbusters. Recently, Rajkummar Rao shared a video on his Instagram in which he meets Leonardo DiCaprio. In captioned the video as, “#MadeInChina When Raghu bhai met Leo bhai.”


It’s a hilarious video, but well, Raj and Leonardo didn’t meet for real. The video is actually an edited one in which one of the scenes from a Hollywood movie featuring Leonardo is shown and then cut to a video of Rajkummar Rao trying to sell Leo a pen. Also, very smartly, Raghu Bhai tries to sell the Magic Soup to the Hollywood star.

Well, Made In China is about a Gujarati entrepreneur, who gets a Magic Soup from China and starts selling it in India. The soup helps men to get better in bed. Of course, the concept is quite interesting and moviegoers are excited to watch the film.

Directed by Mikhil Musale and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, Made In China is slated to release on Diwali this year. The movie will be clashing with Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Ritiesh Deshmukh, Kriti Sanon, Kriti Kharbanda, and Pooja Hegde starrer Housefull 4. Even Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Saand Ki Aankh is slated to hit the screens on the same day. Well, it’s a festive season, so we won’t be surprised if all the three films will do well at the box office.
