The Expendables 2 shot in Nepal??

Update: Though the movie says it's opening scene is from Nepal as mentioned in the first frame of the movie with Distreto Di Sindhupalchok, Nepal, it seems like the movie is either shot in a Hollywood studio or some other locations other than Nepal. Also all the mercenaries in the Nepal action are Chinese, resembling Mongolian People in Nepal. Here is a picture of the opening frame of the movie.

Sylvester Stallone Starer and Directorial act with 2010 successful movie The Expendables has a sequel The Expendables 2 and is going to release in Nepal from Saturday, one week after the Hollywood release. This time the movie has all star acts of the greatest and old action heroes of Hollywood from Stallone himself to Arnold Schwarzenegger to Jean Claude Van Damme to Chuck Norris to Jet Li to Jason Statham
Movie buffs has written that the opening scene of the movie takes place in Nepal, where The Expendables are deployed to rescue a Chinese Businessman and then the team, Barney Ross (Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Strathan), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Gunner Jensen (Dolph Lundgren) takes on another assignment for Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) for the rest of the movie.
Though it is reported from Several media and reviews that the movie starts out with action from Nepal, it is not known if the movie is really shot in Nepal. It could only be known after watching the movie, releasing tomorrow in QFX Cinemas.

If you have already watched the movie, please feel free to write in comments if the movie has real shots from Nepal.

The portrayal of Nepal is wrong. The shooting place is not, the language is not, the people are not, even the sign board reads Burmese.
