The first schedule of Made In China began on Tuesday. Rajkummar Rao, who plays the lead role in the film, shared a picture from the sets of the film and wrote: "A new beginning. Made In China starts filming today." In his tweet, Rajkummar Rao also mentioned that the film is slated to release on August 15, 2019. The film that went on floors in Ahmedabad today, will be directed by Mikhil Musale and it will be produced by Dinesh Vijan's production house Maddock Films, which also produced Rajkummar Rao's last film Stree. The film also stars Mouni Roy (who recently made her Bollywood debut in Gold) and Boman Irani.

I am even more ecstatic to be a part of Maddock Films," IANS quoted Mouni as saying.
