One of Akshay Kumar's hits of 2017 is ready to follow the footsteps of Secret Superstar, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Hindi Medium to release in China. The social drama centred around the issue of open defecation was directed by Shree Narayan Singh. Bhumi Pednekar was the female lead, while the movie also stars Anupam Kher, Sudhir Pandey and Divyendu Sharma. Toilet - Ek Prem Katha was one of the big hits last year, getting much support from the government for driving its Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan campaign.

Coming back to the China release of the movie, it is reported that the makers had held a special screening at the international film festival in Beijing. After getting a good response, they have planned a release in China. The makers are hopeful that the social message in the movie will click with the Chinese audiences like it did with Dangal and Secret Superstar. The movie will release there in May.

There is another biggie that is scheduled to release in China as well. After tasting huge success in the country with Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan is all set to release his 2016 blockbuster, Sultan in China too. However, the release details are not yet available. The movie is directed Ali Abbas Zafar, and Anushka Sharma plays the female lead.

China has become a very lucrative market for Bollywood, all thanks to the super success that Aamir Khan has found in the country. The last Indian movie to release in the country was Irrfan Khan's Hindi Medium. The next release will be Baahubali 2 which will release in the country on May 4.
