It seems Sonu Sood has started the new year with some 'Kung Fu' love! The Bollywood actor has got a gift from his "bro" and legendary actor Jackie Chan in the form of a jacket.

The actor, who is shooting with the Chinese Kung Fu star in the Indo-Chinese production "Kung Fu Yoga", took to Twitter to share his happiness over getting a gift from the actor.

"And the New Year begins with my bro #jackiechan...thank you for this lovely jacket #Beijing #kungfuyoga," Sonu posted.

The "Dabangg" actor also posted an image with the international icon, in which both are all smiles for the camera.

"Kung Fu Yoga" is a part of the three-film agreement signed between the two countries during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India.

Directed by Stanley Tong, the action comedy film is shot in Dubai and Beijing. It will also be shot in India. -*-

Manoj Bajpayee excited for 'Missing', 'Aligarh'

Manoj Bajpayee will soon be seen questioning about gender identity in the society with "Aligarh" and will explore the horror arena of cinema with "Missing". And the actor says he is excited to bring forward both the worlds to the audience and is eager to know their response.

"'Missing' and 'Aligarh' - two films which gave me immense creative satisfaction. Eager to show it to the audience," Manoj tweeted.

Hansal Mehta's reality drama film "Aligarh", which will release on February 26, is based on the real life incident of doctor Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, who was suspended from his job as a professor because of his sexual orientation, stars Manoj and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles.

On the other hand, "Missing" promises to bring the chills and thrills with the film, which also stars Tabu.

Manoj started his career with a television serial "Swabhimaan" and went on to do small roles in films like "Dastak" and "Bandit Queen". He got his big break in the 1998 crime film "Satya". He even won a National Film Award for his role as Bhiku Mhatre.

He again received a National Film Award for his role in the film "Pinjar". He is also appreciated for his roles in "Shool" and "Gangs of Wasseypur".
