“Kung Fu Yoga” Theatrical Poster
Whether you loved or hated it (read our review), there’s a strong possibility that a sequel to Kung Fu Yoga is on its way. Not only is the film dominating box office charts in China, but Indian film star Sonu Sood (Arundhati), who plays the movie’s lead villain, had this to say (via TTOI):
“I would love to take the venture forward. I remember that I was talking to my director Stanley Tong in China and he was very happy”. “He said, ‘We are planning to have ‘Kung Fu Yoga 2‘. I agreed with him.”
Kung Fu Yoga, which was was recently released by Well Go USA this past January, is noted for reuniting Jackie Chan with Tong (the two created magic in films like Rumble in the Bronx, Police Story 3 and Police Story 4).
In Kung Fu Yoga, Chan plays a world-renowned archaeology professor on a mission to locate the lost ancient Indian treasure of Magadha when they are ambushed by a team of mercenaries and left for dead. The film also stars Lay Zhang (of the K-pop group EXO), Miya Muqi (Tomb Robber), Aarif Rahman (Bruce Lee, My Brother) and and Ileana D’Cruz (Happy Ending).
‘The Myth 3: Kung Fu Yoga 2’. Please don’t. I will personally start an online petition for this movie not to be made.
The movie-going public mystifies me. A sequel to one of the worst Chan movies ever?? I guess if the Twilight series can have 4 movies anything is possible. People enjoy crap – CONFIRMED.
The “movie-going public” = $$$. But trust me, I feel your pain.
