"Asad Shan&amp;#039;s 7 Welcome To London has broken previous box office records for a British Hindi-language film. The project - which had its theatrical opening in the UK on Friday - has beaten earlier releases, including last month&amp;#039;s Naachle London. &amp;quot;With a satellite deal on the table and North America distribution signed off, 7 Welcome To London has seen the kind of success no other British Asian cinema release has had,&amp;quot; a trade analyst revealed. Aliakbar Campwala, who plays Goldie in the film, said that Tamil cinema star Rajinikanth had inspired him during the making of the project. &amp;quot;If you are playing a South Indian in any film, it&amp;#039;s difficult to not associate yourself with the ideologies and inspiration of the legendary Rajniji,&amp;quot; he told Digital Spy. &amp;quot;Any South Indian would be just bound by his magical films wherever you are living in the world. Playing the South Indian Goldie was a good challenge as I was born in Mumbai. My mom&amp;#039;s side of the family is from South India so I had to just refresh those memories and act the character of Goldie.&amp;quot;  Anupam Kher-trained model-turned-actor Imam said that she had to audition a number of times in order to win the part of Simran. &amp;quot;I got rejected by Asad because I went to the casting in full-fledged make-up, while he was looking for a simple girl,&amp;quot; she explained.  &amp;quot;So when I was called again minus make-up, I went in wearing a bit of foundation, but he made me wash my face, tie my hair up and put on a dupatta. After that I had to read every single scene of the film.&amp;quot;  7 Welcome to London  is out now in the UK. &amp;gt; Asad Shan interview: &amp;#039;7 Welcome to London is Bollywood but slicker&amp;#039; Watch the latest track from the film, &amp;#039;Yaadan&amp;#039; remix:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
