Jackie Chan and Ajay Devgn spark excitement ahead of 'Karate Kid: Legends'
In a major development for Indian fans, the Hindi-dubbed version of the film will feature the voice of Bollywood star Ajay Devgn, while his son Yug Devgn makes his voiceover debut in the same project. This marks the first time the father-son duo will work together on the same film — a milestone moment in their cinematic journey.
Ahead of the film's release, Jackie Chan and Ben Wang joined Ajay and Yug Devgn for a candid conversation that revealed mutual admiration and heartfelt reflections. Ajay fondly remembered his own father, the late stunt director Veeru Devgn, calling him a 'Mr Miyagi figure' who inspired his career in film. 'It was his dream that made me an actor,' Ajay shared.
Jackie responded warmly, noting, 'I didn't have just one Mr Miyagi — I had many teachers, and I'm grateful to each of them for shaping who I am today.'
Yug Devgn added a touching note, describing his father as the guiding light in his life: 'Without him, I wouldn't be anything,' he said.
When asked how action in cinema has evolved, Ajay observed, 'Earlier, it was much harder — no cables, no graphics. It was all raw effort. Technology has made things easier now, but there's still no substitute for hard work.'
Jackie also reminisced about his time in India during the filming of Kung Fu Yoga, speaking with delight about his experience with Bollywood-style dance. 'Every time I watch Bollywood dance, I'm amazed by the timing, the grace, the rhythm. Once, I felt like doing a full dance sequence myself,' he said with a laugh. 'For me, action and dance are similar — both flow with rhythm, expression and energy.'
Perhaps most excitingly for fans, Jackie hinted at a deeper collaboration with Bollywood, expressing interest in taking on a full-fledged role in an Indian film in the future. His statement has already sparked buzz among film enthusiasts.
With Karate Kid: Legends promising a powerful mix of action, emotion and family values — and with the special combination of Jackie Chan and Ajay Devgn in the mix — audiences have plenty to look forward to. See you in cinemas on 30 May.

RPG Group present #KarDikha India - an action manifesto that reimagines freedom as a responsibility
RPG Group present #KarDikha India - an action manifesto that reimagines freedom as a responsibility PRNewswire Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14: Freedom finds a fresh beat this Independence Day. Kar Dikha -- a spoken word and rap anthem by RPG Group -- redefines azaadi for today's India: not as a moment in history, but as a daily responsibility. RPG Group emphasizes the call to show up, take ownership, and shape a better India, stating: azaadi sirf paane ki nahi, nibhane ki bhi kahani hai. The music video draws from real stories across RPG Group and Mumbai -- factory workers keeping industry moving, neurodivergent employees at Raychem RPG breaking stereotypes, Pehlay Akshar children finding their voice, Koli women entrepreneurs driving change, and Worli's youth using hip-hop to reclaim their narrative. "Freedom is not just a gift we inherit, it's a duty we live every day. Kar Dikha is our call to every Indian to turn that duty into action," saysUdayan Dutt, President - Group HR, RPG Enterprises. The video embodies RPG Group's values of Touching Lives and Hello Happiness, measuring progress not in numbers, but in the lives uplifted. Composed and produced by Mumbai hip-hop pioneer Instine, with verses by Yeda Anna (Maddy), the track blends Indian sounds with modern beats -- a soundscape where grit meets hope. Shot by Alphabooom, the video is a tribute to everyday courage that rarely makes headlines. "This wasn't just a track -- it's an action manifesto set to music. Collaborating with RPG, every note was shaped to carry unity and every beat to echo courage. Independence isn't just about waving a flag, it's about standing up together and hold that hope for a better, brighter, happier India," said Instine, the project's executive producer. With its unapologetic tone and raw energy, Kar Dikha speaks directly to Gen Z and young India -- asking them to own the nation's future. This is our country; the responsibility to keep it moving forward is on us. "Collaborating with RPG felt magical. Seeing how deeply we are connected through this initiative was inspiring. I'm grateful to be part of something so impactful," said Yeda Anna. The music video is now streaming on YouTube and major platforms, with short form edits on Instagram Reels, LinkedIn and more.
