Sidhu: This is the original Bollywood martial superstat / My name is Akshay Kumar / And this is my man the player Bohemia / To take you on a trip from Chandni Chowk to China...
- The film was originally titled "Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo" and later "Mad in China."
- The film's teaser poster (Akshay Kumar in a Chinese robe, carrying a sword-kebab) was designed by Rohan Sippy. Sippy went to Kumar with this poster and said he wanted to make a film with him, centering on this concept. Sippy also developed the fundamental plot from this poster in about three months.
- The third Bollywood film to be made and distributed in partnership with a major Hollywood studio.
- It is Warner Bros. Pictures' first Hindi film.
- A song in the film is titled "India Se Aaya Mera Dost." This is a twist on the Bombay to Goa (1972) song "Bombay Se Aaya Mera Dost," which is a favourite song of Bappi Lahiri.
