‘Kung Fu Yoga’, a China-India co-production, tells the story of Jack (Jackie Chan), a renowned archaeologist based in China’s ancient city of Xi’an who teams up with Professor Ashmita (Disha Patani) and assistant Kyra (Amrya Dastur) to locate India’s lost treasures of the Magadha kingdom. Together with the help of Jack’s assistants – Xiaoguang (Lay Zhang), Nuomin (Miya Muqi) and Jones (Aarif Rahman), son of an old friend, the group embarks on an exciting adventure that brings them from the high plateaus of Tibet, to metropolitan Dubai, and finally, to mesmerising India.
This is not the first time Jackie Chan collaborates with Director Stanley Tong. They have worked together for various successful action films in the 1990s such as ‘First Strike’, ‘Rumble in the Bronx’, and ‘Supercop’. This is their first collaboration in years since last working on ‘CZ12’ in 2012.
