Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff 's recent comment about Kung Fu originating in India have not only taken Jackie Chan by surprise but also left him curious, especially since the martial art form has been an extremely important part of his career.

In an earlier interview, Tiger had said, “Though there are conflicting opinions on whether Kung Fu actually originated from the teachings of an Indian Buddhist monk, Bodhidharma, who arrived in China in the 6th century, one thing is certain, he definitely brought a form of martial arts with him, most likely Kalaripayattu. He transformed the newly-formed Shaolin Temple and the Buddhist monks settled there, dedicating themselves to Kung Fu and becoming a warrior elite whose fame spread throughout China and later, all over the world.“

Jackie was shooting for his next in Jaipur, when he came across Tiger's article. Sources from the film set share how the Hollywood action superstar was surprised after reading the interview. After all, he can easily be tagged as the global brand ambassador of Kung Fu. Sources say he wanted to meet Tiger and know the basis of his comment.

That be as it may, Tiger, who himself is very good at martial art, has stunned everyone with his potential. While shooting for his upcoming release, Sajid Nadiadwala's Baaghi directed by Sabbir Khan that is releasing on April 29, he underwent extensive training for Kalaripayattu. It seems the actor's efforts have paid off as his jaw-dropping action sequences in the film's trailer have evoked a good response.
