Mng = Ming - i = China - i = Chan 9Jackie Chan)

Pantene - Zhang was the model for pantene and she was Tackie's co-star

Maruti - Swift car - thats Jackie all right - there is a Zen connection too but i havent figured it out

TL -- Jackie Chan

Probably an off-the-mark guess:

Clue 1: mng = mango, the fashion brand = mango (english word derived from an Indian language)

Clue 2: Pantene = shampoo (another english word derived from an Indian language)

Clue 3: Maruti = Indian car = rath = jagannath rath = juggernaut (another english word derived from an indian language)

TL: English words with Indian origins

or clue 3 could be swift hence chris tucker - fastest moth in west - so TL is Rush hour

though the third clue should lead to zen. zen is derived from dhyana.
