Ace choreographer Farah Khan, who was roped in to choreograph an extravagant song for Jackie Chan's Indo-Chinese film "Kung Fu Yoga", was amazed with dancing skills of the actor.
Farah recently shot the big, happy, Bollywood style-Chinese song in Jodhpur.
"It's a Chinese song with Jackie (Chan), Sonu (Sood), Amyra (Dastur) and Disha (Patani) shaking a leg to the catchy beats," the 51-year-old choreographer said in a statement.
"Jackie has been wanting to do a Bollywood song for a while now and has promised to show off all these moves when he's in India next to promote the film. In fact, he is doing it so well that we now call him Jackie Jackson on the sets," she added.
The one-and-a-half day schedule in the country wrapped up yesterday, and Farah now flies to Beijing to film the rest of the song.
The "Om Shanti Om" helmer was floored by the international megastar's humility and professionalism.
"Apart from shooting in the scorching heat, minus complains, Jackie Chan also reported to the sets 15 minutes before call time," she said.
"Kung Fu Yoga" is a part of the three-film agreement signed between India and China during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India last year.
The action-adventure film is set to release this October.
