While Ajay Devgn has lent his voice to the character of Mr. Han (played by Jackie Chan), Yug has made his debut as the voice of Li Fong (played by Ben Wang). Their real-life bond adds emotional resonance to the film’s central theme, the relationship between a mentor and his protégé. Yug’s passion for the franchise, natural charisma, and voice impact make him a fitting choice to carry forward the Karate Kid legacy for a new generation of Indian audiences.
