Bollywood actress Ileana D’Cruz, who is quite a name in the Southern film industry, has reportedly bagged a role opposite Jackie Chan in Stanley Tong’s KungFu Yoga, reported PinkVilla.
This isn’t the first time a Bollywood actress has landed a role opposite Jackie. Sources told DNA that “Ileana’s role in the movie is lengthier than Mallika’s in The Myth. She will be seen throughout the film.”

She is currently in Dubai, where the film is presently being shot. It is also learnt that Ileana is learning moves segmented by none other than Jackie Chan. She has done films like Barfi, Phata Poster Nikla Hero, Main Tera Hero, and Happy Ending.
There were rumours that Sonu Sood is playing the parallel lead with Jackie in the film, but it turns out that he is playing the role of the main villain, not the parallel lead:
