Ajay Devgn is ‘proud’ of son Yug as he steps into movies with Karate Kid Legends’ dubbing: ‘Didn’t talk about the process, told him to be confident’

Yug also spoke about his father and said that he was the reason behind him taking up this project. “I actually got inspired by him (Ajay) because he has always done so well, and all of you know that. I love him, and he is the reason I am doing this,” he said. He also revealed that Ajay trains him whenever they go to the gym together and he takes after his father when it comes to fitness.

Ajay and Yug shared that they were huge fans of the Karate Kid franchise and how much they enjoyed lending their voice to the characters. Ajay shared he has always been a “fan of Jackie Chan” and said, “I have been following since the first film, and I loved all of them, even the series Cobra Kai.” Yug concurred with his father and said that maybe the reason why this job felt so natural was because he had been so consumed within the world of this franchise.

This isn’t the first time a father-son duo has dubbed for a Hollywood movie. Previously, Shah Rukh Khan dubbed with his son Aryan Khan for The Lion King in 2019. For 2024’s Mufasa: The Lion King, he dubbed with both his sons, Aryan and AbRam. At the time, Shah Rukh shared in a video with Disney Films India, “Both of them were very patient while working, and honestly, I wasn’t sure if they would actually display this level of patience at their age. But both of them prepared a lot for the project. They properly took time to learn their Hindi lines.” Apart from The Lion King, SRK previously worked with Aryan in 2004’s The Incredibles as well.

Karate Kid: Legends will be releasing in India on May 30, starring Jackie Chan, Ben Wang and Ralph Macchio.
