PK is all set to release in China on 22nd May 2015. Grand China Premiere took place yesterday. The highest grossing Indian movie, PK, had a grand premiere in China yesterday at the Shanghai Art Center – the biggest theatre in Shanghai. This is the first time that to dub for the role of Aamir Khan in the Chinese version of PK, the China Film Group has appointed Baoqiang Wang, an A list actor from the region. Wang is the Chinese equivalent of Khan at the movies there and has several box office successes, including Lost in Thailand, the highest grossing Chinese movie ever, to his credit.
The Chinese premiere was attended by the Chinese Aamir Khan Fan Club (100,000+ members). The Indian Consulate was present there with their representatives, and 400 odd members from Indian community attended, which was handled by Indian Community association. In a bid to promote the film across the media and fans in China, a cross cultural publicity plan has been crafted where lead actor Aamir Khan, director Rajkumar Hirani and producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and the presenters UTV Motion Pictures, along with international sensation Jackie Chan, Baoqiang Wang will be spreading the buzz around the film in China.
The film, produced by Vinod Chopra Films and Rajkumar Hirani Films in association UTV Motion Pictures released worldwide on 19th Dec 2014, will experience one of the widest releases across 3500+ screens on May 22nd 2015 in China.
