Chinese superstar and martial arts sensation Jackie Chan has just completed filming his latest upcoming movie “Kung Fu Yoga,” based on the film’s 150-day production timetable.
This was confirmed by Indian actor Sonu Suod, who is the co-actor of Jackie Chan in the movie. The Mumbai-based actor recently posted on Twitter saying that filming of “Kung Fu Yoga” was already a wrap, reports Z News of India.
He considers working with the international superstar as a life-changing experience and commended Jackie Chan for being the most grounded man ever amid his global popularity.
Suod also said that filming for the movie was completed within its 150-day schedule. He also disclosed that they are all going to reveal the first look on “Kung Fu Yoga” on June 10 through a scheduled press conference in Shanghai.
It is possible that the production team will be debuting the first official trailer of the movie during the press conference.
The Indian actor also said that apart from having a great time, he also learned a lot from Jackie Chan. He added that working on “Kung Fu Yoga” also helped him maintain his persona as a fitness buff.
He also narrated that when they were filming with Jackie, they would keep doing something or the other, like martial arts, stretching, and other activities the whole day.
Part of the agreement between two countries
“Kung Fu Yoga” is actually the first of three films from the agreement signed between India and China during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to India early last year, reports The New Indian Express.
“Kung Fu Yoga” was shot in Jaipur and Beijing and was directed by Stanley Tong. It is due to hit global theaters in the second half of this year.
On the last day of filming, Suod had a picture of the entire production team, posted the image on his Twitter account and captioned it by saying that everyone can measure his height but not his heart during the final day of shoot for “Kung Fu Yoga.”
Incidentally, Jackie also gifted Suod a jacket, and the Indian actor was so proud of it because it came from a very humble international superstar.
Apart from Suno Suod, two other Indian actors are part of “Kung Fu Yoga,” including Amyra Dastur and Disha Patani.
All praises for Patani
Speaking of the other Indian stars in the film, Jackie Chan has nothing but praises to Indian actress Disha Patani who is her leading lady in “Kung Fu Yoga.” Patani just completed filming the international movie in China with Jackie Chan.
The Bollywood actress is building on the praises of the martial arts superstar because it is really something to be proud of for a newbie like herself.
She has just completed filming and is about to appear in her first Hindi movie entitled “Dhoni: The Untold Story.”
According to a source close to the Indian actress, Disha Patani has impressed Jackie Chan so much that he actually told everyone he meets about her.
The Indian actress is a trained gymnast so she was quite fit with action-packed sequences while shooting the movie “Kung Fu Yoga” in China. Jackie Chan also believes that her acting and action skills will certainly be appreciated in Hollywood if she is given the chance.
In fact, Jackie Chan has already referred Disha Patani to his agents in Hollywood to find an opportunity for her. Reports also have it that in appreciation of her good skills, Jackie also gifted her a jacket with his name on it.
In other news, Jackie Chan is one of the most successful actors and businessmen from China but since 2014, many are saying that he has been on a jinx because of the number of misfortunes that came his way.
