Sonu Sood, who had featured with Jackie Chan in Stanley Tong’s 2017 Chinese action-comedy Kung Fu Yoga, met with the duo in Dubai earlier this week. Now, Mirror has learnt that the trio is set to kick off the film’s sequel.

While Jackie and Stanley are in the UAE filming their next collaboration, Vanguard, reportedly about a security team protecting a wealthy businessman and his daughter from a terrorist organisation, Sonu was there for a work commitment. “They invited me over for dinner. Some other members from the Kung Fu Yoga team joined us and along with reminiscing about the film, we discussed Part 2 which Stanley has already started scripting,” Sonu informed, adding, “Once he is done with ongoing commitments, we will roll with it.”

Kung Fu Yoga, which also featured Disha Patani and Amyra Dastur, revolved around two professors who join forces to hunt out a lost treasure. Their adventure takes them from a Tibetan ice cave to Dubai and a mountain temple in India. “We travelled so much for that film, it is one of my favourite projects. I will always cherish the fact that Jackie came down to India on my invitation,” Sonu beamed. “I will be meeting them again when they arrive in India to shoot VanGuard.”

He shared that just like the original, Kung Fu Yoga 2 will also be high on action. “When Jackie and Stanley come together, one can always expect larger-than-life, never-seen-before action sequences. Stanley himself is a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) expert, runs one of the best MMA schools and tries to outdo himself with every project. The original broke all box-office records in China, Part 2 will be bigger,” Sonu promised.
