Jackie Chan’s dream is to do a Bollywood film

Action star Jackie Chan says he wants to do a Bollywood film that has elements of romance and dance. The 62-year-old actor, who was in India on Monday to promote his upcoming film ‘Kung Fu Yoga,’ said he is tired of doing just action and would like to romance on-screen. "I want to do it (Hindi film).

Ask some Bollywood director to hire me. No more action for me, I want to do dance and do a love story. I tried very hard to do it (Bollywood film) but the script did not work out. But after 11 years I am here. It's one of my dreams I want to do it (Bollywood film)," Jackie told reporters in Mumbai.

Chan is quite impressed with Bollywood dance style and thinks it has improved a lot. "When I was 16, I watched Bollywood movies. I didn't understand the language and I went away after seeing the dance. But for the last 15 years, I have been watching Hindi films... Why? Because of the dancing, the movements are so good, probably the best in the world.

"Earlier in Bollywood and Chinese films, the actions and dancing were not up to the mark. But now we have money and technology and now we can train people. Currently, Bollywood produces some of the best films in Asia," Chan said.
