When Chandni Chowk to China (CC2C) hit theaters in 2009, it was unlike anything Bollywood had attempted before. Billed as India’s first "kung-fu comedy," the film brought together the slapstick humor of Akshay Kumar, the elegance of Deepika Padukone, and the legendary martial arts choreography of Hong Kong cinema. Directed by Nikhil Advani, the movie follows Sidhu—a simple vegetable cutter from Delhi’s famous Chandni Chowk market—who is mistaken for a reincarnated Chinese warrior.

Playing both the glamorous Susie and the fierce Sakhi, Deepika showcases her early versatility in the action-comedy genre.
