Tong. The city welcomed the global action star with much fanfare, fitting for a
superstar of his stature. His host in Mumbai and co-star Sonu Sood , ensured
that the day was one to remember with a string of events that paid tribute to
him. Jackie Chan was first welcomed at JW Marriot,Mumbai with a traditional
Indian cultural dance and then joined the rest of the cast - Sonu Sood, Disha
Patani, Amyra Dastur and director Stanley Lang at the press conference
organized at the plush five star. The trailer of the international
action-comedy was screened to a packed house of well-wishers and the Indian media.
On the occasion said Jackie Chan, “I'm sure all of you sitting here have
watched my films growing up when your parents took you to watch them...it's my
wish now that you take your parents for this one." Talking about the film
said director Stanley Tong, “ In 1993, we shot the film The Myth in India and I
fell in love with India. I'm happy KungFu Yoga has brought me back here....it
was an amazing experience shooting in Rajasthan ". Said Sonu Sood, “ When
I received a call from Jackie Chan’s office for this film , I just couldn't
beleive it. When things were finalised ,the first person I called was my father
and we decided to watch the film together .I lost my father before this film released
but I'm distributing the film in India now and in a way I see it as honoring my
father's memory...he would have wanted this". Said Disha Patani, “The
entire experience of shooting this film was amazing and something I will never
forget.We are overwhelmed with all the support and love we have received
". Jackie Chan made a grand entry in a vintage automobile and was then
treated to a special showcasing of martial arts by an Indian troop. He later
gorged on the signature Mumbaiya street food as the hotel recreated the typical
