India's highest-grossing film ever "PK" is set for a China release at the end of this month.

Director Rajkumar Hirani, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and lead actor Aamir Khan were in Beijing this week to promote the movie.

When asked about his hopes for box office takings in China Chopra said he certainly hoped for a good result, but he added that "bringing Chinese and Indian people together and closer" is more important than hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

The film, released in India and other countries in 2014, has become the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, grossing $101 million worldwide so far.

"PK," is a science fiction comedy that tells the story of an alien who comes to Earth on a research mission, where he befriends a television journalist and questions religious dogmas and superstitions.

The movie will be released in China on May 22.
