Ready for Akshay Kumar's [Images] life story on the big screen?

Mumbai got a sneak peek when his upcoming film, Chandni Chowk To China, was launched on Thursday at a surburban theatre.

Slated for release later in the year, Chandni Chowk is said to be a semi-autobiographical film on Akshay's life. The film traces the life of a chef, who is mistaken to be a martial arts expert.

Produced by Warner Brothers and directed by Nikhil Advani (Kal Ho Naa Ho, Salaam-E-Ishq [Images]), the film also stars Deepika Padukone [Images] in a double role, and Mithun Chakraborty.

The film is written by Sridhar Raghavan (of Khakee [Images] and Bluffmaster [Images]) and music has been composed by Kailash Kher and his band Kailasa.
