He said the film will be shot in and around Downtown Dubai, City Walk, other prominent locations and residential areas with support from Dubai Film and TV Commission.
“I would like to thank all those in the government and private sector that supported Kung Fu Yoga and will extend their support to the upcoming film.’’
Chan’s earlier movie Kung Fu Yoga, an India-China co-production, marked the martial art actor’s first film shot in Dubai and the Middle East, when it was shot in September to October 2015.
The film used Dubai locales such as the Atlantis, the Palm, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Shaikh Zayed Road, Dubai Marina, Business Bay and the open desert.
Filming is rumoured to begin at the end of February.
