Title: HK Goes Bollywood?


Kathy Allard - January 2, 2005 05:13 PM (GMT)
I'm wondering if anyone knows what this upcoming HK movie is that has a ginormous poster at the entrance to the Cross Harbour Tunnel. The entire cast, including Lau Ching Wan, Francis Ng and Eason Chan, is done up to the Bollywood hilt and the whole look of the poster is decidedly Indian.

I'm guessing that this is a Lunar New Year movie that's aiming to repeat the success of last year's FANTASIA, but beyond that I know nothing and it's not mentioned on Sanney Leung's site.

What's the scoop? Are Johnny To and Wai Ka-Fai involved in this one too?

Any info appreciated!

Dennis and Tim shared some info about this in the last 2 posts in this thread:

wasn't it titled "Himalaya Star (Singh)" or something?

isn't Cecilia Cheung in it too?

Thanks for the info. All I could make out of the title on the poster was HIMAL_____ SINGH, so now I understand what it is. Yes, Cecilia is in this also.

Reading the other thread where this film was mentioned warmed my heart, as I learned I'll get to see Francis Ng on the big screen again in the near future, even if CRAZY 'N THE CITY doesn't sound otherwise too promising.
