No, they are not the unlikeliest pair in the world. In fact, they both have quite a bit in common. For example, both of them are not awfully tall or muscular yet perform macho roles, and want Asian cinema to progress. Jackie Chan and Aamir Khan will soon be seen in a film together. It will be a joint India-China venture. What brought about the project? Well, during the release of Aamir K’s film PK in China, Jackie C met with the Indian actor and both immediately hit it off. In fact, if Indian newspapers are to be believed, the martial-art expert and actor is a fan of Aamir K and has seen a couple of his films, including 3 Idiots.

Well, given Jackie C’s previous experience with an Indian actor Mallika Sherawat in a movie project, we wish him success … and a different experience altogether.
