Farah Khan will be choreographing a grand Bollywood item number featuring Jackie Chan, Sonu Sood, Disha Patani and Amyra Dastur for Chan’s Indo-Chinese production Kung Fu Yoga (directed by Stanley Tong).
Says a source, “For the first time Jackie Chan will incorporate a song in his film and Sonu persuaded him to do so. Sonu also asked Jackie to get Farah to choreograph the lavish song which will be shot in India, China and some other countries. It was also conveyed to Jackie that Indian love Bollywood music in their films. Jackie is expected to fly down by April to shoot for it. It will be a Hindi-English song and will have Indian dancers flown in to China and wherever else they will shoot the song, which includes shooting at The Jodhpur Palace in Rajasthan. Jackie will don an Indian look with a bright red kurta, green mojris and a dhol around his neck. After shooting in Jodhpur, they will fly to Beijing for the next part of the song.”
Farah has choreographed for a Chinese film before, in 2005 for the musical Perhaps Love.
