There are legions of fans for Jackie Chan across India, and they are in for a "treat". Chan's film A Legend, which released in Mainland China earlier this year, will soon hit theatres in India in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and English. A sequel to The Myth, the Stanley Tong directorial is billed as an "exceptional mix of action, adventure, drama and fantasy." The film stars Chan as a present-day archeologist and as an AI-based young soldier.
According to the A Legend domestic distributor, Viswaas Films, it will be a "treat to Jackie Chan fans in India." It also stars Lay Zhang, Na Zha, Aarif Lee, Li Chen, Peng Xiaoran, and Zheng Yechen in key roles.
The story follows Chan's Professor Fang character who discovers a striking similarity between the texture of the artefacts, which his students discovered on a glacier adventure, and a jade pendant from his dreams.
The film reunites Chan with his The Myth director Stanley Tong, who also helmed some of the actor's Police Story films.
