– Vladimir Kozlov is a co-star in one of the highest-grossing films of all-time. WWE.com has an interview with the WWE alum, real name Oleg Prudius, about his role in Chinese action film Wolf Warriors II. The film stars Frank Grillo, Wu Jing and Celina Jade and has currently grossed $793.63 million dollars, making it to the top 100 grossing films of all-time. It is the highest-grossing Chinese production ever.

Talking about the growing influence of Chinese films in the international marketplace, Prudius said, “It’s very interesting situation. I think, in particular, this movie is good action. It’s a good combination of Asian style and Western style. Plus, because it’s a military movie, it was a very good combination of combat fights and tactical stuff, like John Wick-style. So, it looks very good on TV [because] it’s unusual. And when you see this movie, you can tell, “Wow, this looks amazing.” They put in some tank fights. It looks like Fast & Furious but with a tank. Nobody made that before! This movie is so great, and plus there’s so many big actors’ names — Frank Grillo is a very nice person, and plus, he’s a very good actor — and lots of regular guys. And it’s interesting because a movie like that made almost one billion dollars, and the budget was like $25 million.”
