- Director duo Abbas-Mastan was inspired to make 36 CHINA TOWN (‘06) after having watched an English detective thriller, CHINATOWN (‘74), starring Jack Nicholson. They claim that, 36 CHINA TOWN (‘06) is actually a tribute to that film. Interestingly, they wanted to call the film ‘Chinatown’, but the rights for this title was not available. Director Abbas then thought of adding a house number to the title, and hence it was titled ‘36 China Town’.
