In a fun video clip, Jackie, who will return as Mr Han, is seen telling Ajay to invite him to come to India, to which Ajay said, "I would love to work with you".
Jackie then suggested, "You fight, I dance," expressing his desire to work in a Bollywood film with Tanhaji actor, insisting he would want to dance instead of doing action.
Jackie also showed some Bollywood inspired dance moves which he remembered from his 2017 India-China co-production film Kung Fu Yoga which also starred Indian actors Disha Patani, Sonu Sood, and Amyra Dastur.

Ajay will voice the iconic character of Mr Han, portrayed by Jackie Chan, while his son Yug will make his debut as Li Fong, the film's lead character played by Ben Wang. This marks Ajay's first ever voice over for an international film and his collaboration with Yug.
Set in New York City, Karate Kid: Legends follows kung fu prodigy Li Fong as he adjusts to life in a new school, forges unexpected bonds, and is drawn into an intense showdown with a local karate champion. Under the guidance of his teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and the legendary Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Li embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery, courage, and growth. Sony Pictures Entertainment India will release Karate Kid: Legends in theatres on May 30 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Tiger Shroff and family owns MMA league, training facility with 16 gyms across India: Ayesha and Krishna Shroff explain their business empire
Almost all Bollywood celebrities diversify their portfolio and have multiple income sources, like businesses and real estate. Similarly, actor Tiger Shroff has invested in his own training facility called MMA Matrix and an MMA fighting league called Matrix Fight Night. However, he isn't the sole owner of these and shares the control with his mother, Ayesha Shroff, and sister, Krishna Shroff. In a recent interview, Ayesha talked about her own career as a film producer in Bollywood and how the family have overcome tough times to create an empire for themselves. While talking to Zero1 Hustle, both mother and daughter shared the story behind the gym, and Krishna said, 'Our gym is basically a passion project that my mother, brother, and I came together for. There is no one better than Tiger to represent something like fitness; he is the epitome of it. I think a lot of tier-2 and 3 cities have shown him a lot of love, and some of his most loyal fans come from those places. Tiger was very keen to bring these facilities to them.' Ayesha added that the idea behind the Matrix gym was to create a premium space that combined several different aspects of fitness and martial arts. ALSO READ: Amitabh Bachchan-Katrina Kaif film was shot at Dubai hotel that turned down James Bond, on Gaddafi's private jet; flopped instantly, bankrupted Jackie Shroff 'No one really had what our gym possessed, at least in the city. Tiger already did martial arts, and Krishna was big on strength training. So we thought of building a space which combines both those disciplines. The name came from the film Matrix. There is no division, and everyone contributes equally to the venture, Tiger less in terms of time, because of his acting career. We put in our own money, and we weren't answerable to any investors. Today we have 16 gyms Pan-India, including our mothership here. Now we have involved some partners as well, and we choose between franchising or partnering up with someone, based on the kind of money they can put in,' said Ayesha. Talking about the martial arts promotion company Matrix Fight Night, Ayesha took the viewers back to where the journey started for them and said, 'It all started when we attended an MMA show here in India, and Tiger was a part of the organisation that hosted it for some time as well. Krishna had been a fan of MMA for a long time, and she was also very familiar with a lot of Indian and international fighters, so that's her strong point. I take care of the organising aspect of it all, and my love for films and production translates here. Everything, down to the very last detail, goes through me.' She explained the pay scale of their organisation and the business model and stated that they are on their way to competing with the biggest brands in the world of MMA. 'The ticketing thing doesn't work in India yet, because we still don't have the megastars to bring in those huge crowds. When we came into the space, the starting salary for an Indian fighter was $200 (Rs 17k), and now a debut fighter gets paid $2000 (Rs 1.74 lakh). If you are fighting for a title, you get paid $10k (Rs 8.7 lakh). So if you compare our pay scale with a lot of other promotions globally, we are still pretty good. The idea is to make this into a proper salaried profession for all these fighters. We are currently on JioHotstar, and we literally bullied them for that platform. They didn't expect the numbers we got, and then they came back to us all excited and even came to watch a show.' A post shared by Matrix Fight Night [™️] (@mfn_mma) Krishna added and said, 'We are in the process of changing the whole revenue model, because a lot of these fighters didn't have any kind of recognition before MFN, and now they have massive followings in their hometowns and villages.' MFN has been active since 2019, and they have had 17 shows to date.

Earlier in the day, the superstar shared the first poster which immediately went viral among the social media. Watch the videos here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Voompla (@voompla) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deepak Yadav (@deepakyadav___) Shah Rukh Khan Drops FIRST Poster Of Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds Of Bollywood: Ahead of the preview release, SRK further heightened fans' excitement by dropping the first official poster of the series, starring Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal and others. On Wednesday, Shah Rukh Khan took to his social media to drop the first filmy poster of his son Aryan Khan's debut series 'The Ba***ds Of Bollywood'. The Bollywood-style poster features Lakshya confidently exuding swag on a red carpet outside a cinema hall. Also visible in the poster are Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Raghav Juyal, and other cast members. 'Parda girne ka wait kar rahe ho? Yeh show parda phaad ke aa raha hai. (Waiting for the curtain to rise? This show is coming to tear the curtain apart). The Ba***ds of Bollywood Preview, out today #TheBadsOfBollywoodOnNetflix," wrote Shah Rukh Khan, while unveiling the intriguing poster. About The Ba***ds Of Bollywood Aryan Khan, who chose to step into direction instead of acting unlike his superstar father and sister Suhana Khan, has been working on the project for over a year. He serves as the creator and director, and is working alongside co-creators and writers Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, the show reportedly dives into the eccentric world of aspirants, hustlers, and dreamers who navigate the chaos of the Hindi film industry. It stars Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Vijayant Kohli, and Gautami Kapoor. Shah Rukh Khan, last seen in Dunki, has left his fans eagerly awaiting his next big-screen outing. The superstar is set to headline King, a high-octane action thriller where he stars alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. The film, already touted as one of the most ambitious projects of his career, has now hit a slight roadblock due to health concerns. During his trademark #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter), a fan asked him when his next film would release. In his witty yet candid response, SRK wrote, 'Did some good shoot… starting soon again. Only leg shots then move to upper body… Insha Allah will be done fast. @justSidAnand is working hard to finish." While his optimism reassured fans, reports indicate that King's production schedule has been temporarily affected by the actor's recent injury. According to Mid-Day, the filming has been delayed after SRK sustained a shoulder strain while shooting an intense action sequence at Golden Tobacco Studio in Mumbai. Sources close to the production revealed that although the injury is not life-threatening, it required medical attention abroad. SRK has since flown to the United States for precautionary treatment, and doctors have reportedly advised him to take at least a month's break.
