Street Fighter Actor Vidyut Jammwal Holds Breath For 15 Minutes, & Gives Bollywood A Reality Check: 'Hollywood Stars Are Never Late On Set'
It was a trailer launch unlike any other, where Vidyut Jammwal did something no one was expecting - he literally went into a trance for 15 full minutes. The audience and media couldn’t grasp what exactly was going on, or for how long it was going to go on. His eyes were open throughout, and as his legs started to tremble just a bit, we realised that he had been holding his breath for all this…
A recent trailer launch for the upcoming Hollywood movie, Street Fighter, featured actor Vidyut Jammwal engaging in an unusual act. For a span of 15 minutes, he went into a trance while his eyes remained open, his legs trembling faintly, and his eyes watering. This peculiar behavior left the audience and media puzzled about the duration and purpose of his trance-like state.
The event was taking place as a special preview of Jammwal's character, Dhalsim, from the popular Street Fighter video game franchise. Known for his flexibility, mystical abilities, and signature fire-breathing moves, Dhalsim is a powerful fighter and yoga master. Jammwal's background in yoga, Kalaripayattu, and action sequences made him an ideal choice for the role.
Reflecting on his journey, Jammwal shared that his love for sports in his youth led him to this character. He highlighted the discipline expected in Hollywood, contrasting it with Bollywood, where delays are met with disapproval. Hollywood stars, he noted, never miss their set times, and any lateness, no matter how slight, is met with immediate inquiries from the production team. Bollywood, he urged, should take note of this work ethic.
