Why Vidyut Jammwal Got The DHALSIM Role? #streetfighter #dhalsim

In Bollywood, the biggest roles go to the biggest names, like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Hollywood did the opposite for Street Fighter's Dhalsim and picked Vidyut Jammwal. Here's why. • Vidyut Jammwal plays Dhalsim in Legendary and Paramount's Street Fighter (reported by Deadline, 14 July 2025), his Hollywood debut. The movie opens 16 October 2026. • In the games, Dhalsim is a yoga master who fights: Yoga Fire, Yoga Flame, Yoga Teleport and his stretching limbs. • Vidyut has trained in Kalaripayattu since he was three, at an ashram in Palakkad, Kerala, run by his mother. • In 2018 he was the only Indian on Looper's list of the world's top six martial artists. • Every year he spends 7 to 10 days alone in the Himalayas (his own words).
