Through the 'personal touch' and first hand experience of Chetan Bhagat and his connection with Hong Kong, Indian viewers will be able to relate and appreciate Hong Kong through his eyes.”

Speaking on the association, Chetan Bhagat added, "Hong Kong is very inspiring for me as a writer. It was real fun to relive some great moments in this dynamic city offering both traditional Chinese culture and spectacular colonial heritage. We have been able to capture diverse moods and melodies of Hong Kong - Asia's World City through these two episodes in Zoom TV, spanning through the slick and smart cosmopolitan side of Hong Kong with its tightly packed sidewalks and tall skyscrapers, steam-filled cafes, street markets and exciting nightlife besides its scenic natural beauty at the outlying islands and beaches.”
