Gold Struck- First Indo-Chinese Film Venture

It was declared in December 2010 that Gold Struck movie will be the first ever India China joint film venture. In the movie, which will be an action-comedy, the mutual stereotypes of the geeky Indian nerd and the aggressive Chinese will be dispelled. Chinese chemist Tommy and Indian IT buff Sanjay will be the protagonist who will team up to turn bronze into gold. The movie will be backed by the Chinese government’s official film production company, China Film Group Corporation and is expected to star leading actors from both countries. Gold Struck has a budget of USD 10 million and will reflect the "love-hate" relationship of India and China. The film's story was written by Shyu, with a team of Indian writers. The film will be released in English, Chinese and Hind. The China Film Group will join Shyu's Hong Kong-based Light House Productions and India's Eros International in producing the film and distributing it globally.

The first India China film venture was decided upon in the wake of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to New Delhi on a mission to iron out differences relating to a host of issues involving the two emerging Asian giants.
