Speaking to Dr. Kohona, he shared that 169 million Chinese travelled to foreign destinations, and Thailand alone attracted over 26 million Chinese tourists in 2019. Sadly, if you look at the number of Chinese tourists who travelled to Sri Lanka, it was a measly 265,000 in 2018. Dr. Kohona said there is absolutely no reason why this number could not be in the millions. Rutnam shared the film will be a Chinese film, starring Chinese actors and having a Chinese director, and would be specifically tailored to the Chinese market. When asked why it must be a Chinese film, he shared that Chinese people do not care much for the English language as it is not their priority.
