Jack (Jackie Chan), a famous professor of archeology at the Terracotta Army Museum in Xi'an, along with a beautiful Indian woman, Professor Ashmita, and her assistant Kira, goes to Tibet in search of the lost treasures of Magadha (note - an ancient country and historical region in India). Jack's assistants Xiaoguang (Zhang Yixing) and Noming (Miya Muqi) also accompany him.
They later join forces with Jones Lee (Aarif Rahman), whose father is an old friend of Jack's. Using various devices and GPS, the group finds the lost army of Magadha, which hid treasures in ancient times. Now they were buried in an ice cave, hidden from prying eyes for centuries.
Suddenly the company is ambushed by Randall (Sonu Sood), a descendant of a rebel warlord, who claims his right to the treasure. During the showdown, Jones grabs a large diamond and escapes from the cave, leaving Jack and his team trapped. Using yoga breathing techniques, Jackie and Ashmita escape from the cave along the icy river and return to the others.
Having won, Ashmita and Kira return to India, and Jack, Xiaoguang and Nomin go to Dubai to put the diamond up for auction. Although Jack is guarding the treasure, Randall appears in his way again. Ashmita disappears in pursuit, and then Jack realizes that she and Kira are not who they say they are...

Jackie Chan wants to shoot more films in Dubai
Jackie Chan could finally leave Dubai, given the completion of filming of the new action comedy "Kung fu yoga", which will be released next year, but it seems he will return there very soon. The martial arts star shared with his colleagues and crew during a speech at the end of filming party that in the future he would probably come to shoot a film in Dubai rather than in South Africa, where the Hong Kong actor went to shoot previous films.
Once the filming process was completed, the team was able to talk about their experience. Producer of the film “Kung Fu Yoga” in Dubai Maxine De Vere said:
Jackie is delighted, he wants to return. He read out a speech at the evening and told everyone, including the manager, that it would be better for him to come to film in Dubai, and not to South Africa.
She added:
It certainly helped that we were on budget.
Chan is a prolific worker, with five new films already announced, some still in production, so the UAE may not have long to wait for the actor's next appearance here.
He has already received the script, which he is going to send to me,” says De Vere. – Stanley Tong, director, asked me where I usually work, not only about production in the UAE, but also for the future. Of course, I'm delighted too.
