Kumar, Padukone: Chandni Chowk to China stars in Toronto

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is returning to Canada to attend the Canadian premiere of his latest film Chandni Chowk to China.

He'll be accompanied by his costar Deepika Padukone.

The kung fu comedy, about an Indian man mistaken for the reincarnation of a Chinese martial arts expert, is Warner Bros. Pictures' first venture into the Bollywood market. It features both South Asian and Chinese actors, such as Mithun Chakraborty (Heroes), Ranvir Shorey, and Gordon Liu (Kill Bill Vol. 2).

Kumar was previously in Vancouver in August 2008 to promote Singh is Kinng.

Kumar owns a home in Toronto and said at the Vancouver press conference that he would eventually retire there.

The Toronto premiere will take place on Friday, January 9 at the AMC Yonge/Dundas Square (10 Dundas Street).
