It has now been confirmed that Kung Fu legend Jackie Chan will be high-kicking his way to India for the shooting of his next production.

He will be using the services of Bollywood producer Mukesh Bhatt, who will provide a team of technicians and equipment to the actor for the 60 million action film.

Chan's film has a Buddhist backdrop and will be shot in India, China and Hong Kong. A team from the film venture will be going to India to scout for locations and shortlist actors for roles.

Indians are no strangers to Jackie Chan, with many of his films having been dubbed into Hindi, Tamil and other regional languages. Chan also attended the first International Indian Film Awards at the Millennium Dome in 2000.
