Indian cuisine is a hit all over the world and there are many Hollywood celebrities who love to enjoy the lip-smacking Indian fare and have sung paeans to its richness. Now Jackie Chan, the celebrated martial artist and multitalented actor, will also get a taste of the renowned cuisine when he comes to India at the end of 2016.
Chan will be treated by another bodybuilding freak and talented Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, with whom he has done a Chinese-Indian co-production film called "Kun Fu Yoga." According to Business Standard, Jackie has lent his voice for Master Monkey in the movie. Sood has said that when Chan comes to India in November or December to promote the film, he will make sure the martial artist gets to eat makke di roti and sarson da saag, which is a popular North Indian dish.
According to Hindustan Times, Sood has revealed that Chan helped him a lot in finding vegetarian food when they were shooting in Shanghai. He knew that the Indian actor, was a vegetarian and so, he would get the best vegetarian dishes arranged for him. Now Sood wants to reciprocate his loving gesture by letting him have the best dishes available in India.
Moreover, it looks like Chan will love Indian food as he has already taken a fancy to Bollywood dances and loves dancing to Hindi songs. According to Sood, he had put some Hindi music on his computer and because he also wanted to dance to a Hindi song, they made sure the film had one. He will be seen dancing in the film in traditional Bollywood-style costumes.
Well, it is really a pleasing sight to see a healthy friendship between two actors of different nationalities. The bond that developed during the shooting of "Kung Fu Yoga" seems to have transcended the professional boundaries.
In June, a video featuring Sood and Chan had become very popular on the internet as they danced together in the clip. The camaraderie was there for everyone to see and as fans, people hope that the movie also brings forward a fine chemistry and fabulous adventure.
