"The cuts were deliberately made by Khan as he attaches great importance to China's huge market. He wanted the length to be in line with what the Chinese are used to," says a source close to the Chinese distributor, Huaxia Film Distribution Co.

Khan is among the most famous Indian stars in China for his previous hits - 3 Idiots and PK, which were released in China in 2011 and 2015.

Meanwhile, the source, who declined to be identified, says that Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, the highest-grossing Indian movie of all time, may also be brought to China as local interest in Indian movies is growing.

It seems a bit early to make predictions about the fate of Bollywood films in China, as Hollywood's dominance, at least for now, seems unshakeable.

Warner Bros' fantasy epic King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and Lionsgate Films' teen-superhero film Power Rangers will be released simultaneously in Chinese cinemas on May 12.

Both cost more than $100 million and have plenty of action.
