The father and son duo have lent their voices to the Hindi version of "Karate Kid: Legends", which will be released in theatres across India on May 30, in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Sharing the exciting news, the makers penned on social media, "The master has a new voice. So does the student! Ajay Devgn & Yug Devgan are all set to bring Jackie Chan & Ben Wang’s epic journey to life in #KarateKidLegends (Hindi). Kick into action with the Hindi trailer dropping soon."

Ajay voiced the iconic character Mr. Han, portrayed by Jackie Chan, while Yug made his much-anticipated debut as Li Fong, the film’s lead character originally played by Ben Wang. This marks Ajay’s first-ever voiceover for an international film in his illustrious career, while Yug brings a fresh and youthful spirit to a globally beloved franchise.

Set in New York City, "Karate Kid: Legends" follows kung fu prodigy Li Fong as he adjusts to life in a new school, forges unexpected bonds, and is drawn into an intense showdown with a local karate champion. Under the guidance of his teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), and the legendary Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Li embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery, courage, and growth.

Meanwhile, Ajay was last seen reprising his role as IRS officer Amay Patnaik in "Raid 2".

Starring Riteish Deshmukh and Vaani Kapoor in prominent roles, the film talks about Amay Patnaik's 75th raid in which he tracks another white-collar criminal, Manohar Dhankar alias Dada Manohar Bhai (Riteish), a corrupt politician.

Released on May 1, 2025, the sequel performed exceedingly well at the box office, becoming the third highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025.

Wow! Ajay Devgn and his son Yug together for the first time! 😍 This is such a special moment for Bollywood fans. Can't wait to hear their chemistry in the Hindi dub. The Karate Kid franchise has always been close to my heart since childhood!

Interesting choice for Ajay Devgn's first international voiceover. Though I wonder if his deep voice will suit Jackie Chan's character? Hope they've adapted the script well for Indian audiences. Still, great to see Indian talent getting global opportunities!

Yug's debut is so exciting! He's grown up before our eyes. Remember seeing him as a kid in Ajay's movie events. Now voicing the lead in Karate Kid - what a launch! Hope he inherits his father's acting genes 🤞

While I appreciate the father-son collaboration, I wish Indian studios would focus more on creating original content rather than just dubbing foreign films. Our storytelling is world-class - why always play second fiddle?

The original Karate Kid was my childhood favorite! So nostalgic to see this franchise continuing. Ajay Devgn voicing Jackie Chan is perfect casting - both are legends in their own right. May 30 can't come soon enough! 🥋

Hope they've localized the dialogues well. Sometimes Hollywood dubs feel awkward in Hindi. But with Ajay's experience, I'm sure they've done justice. Also great timing after Raid 2's success - Ajay's on a roll!
