I told (producer) Dinesh Vijan that I want to show the trailer to my father. I am so happy he saw the trailer and I am sure he will watch film from somewhere. I feel his blessings are always there with me," said Rajkummar.

"Made In China" will see the Rajkummar Rao in the lead role of a Gujarati businessman who becomes successful, thanks to 'jugaad'.
