Vidyut Jammwal hopes his Street Fighter does better than Jean-Claude Van Damme’s 1994 film

Vidyut Jammwal, a talented Indian actor, is set to make his Hollywood debut in the martial arts comedy film "Kitao Sakurai's Street Fighter." The actor, who grew up watching Jean-Claude Van Damme's 1994 film adaptation of the popular video game series, aims for his movie to surpass the box office success of its predecessor, which earned $99.4 million on a budget of $35 million. In an exclusive interview, Vidyut expressed his hope that "Street Fighter" would be well-received by both Indian and global audiences.

The film features a star-studded ensemble cast, including Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes, among others. Vidyut, who trained in Kalaripayattu, an Indian martial art form, expressed his pride in playing Dhalsim, a yoga master who uses his breath as a medium to fight. He was pleased with his bald appearance throughout the movie, as it stayed true to Dhalsim's video game appearance.

This marks Vidyut's 15th year in the Hindi film industry, with his acting journey beginning with a brief role in Amol Gupte's 2011 film "Stanley Ka Dabba." He has since gained international recognition for his action roles, including the lead in "Commando" and a bankable lead action star. Vidyut is determined to continue pushing boundaries in his career and avoid being pigeonholed as a negative role actor, as he has done in the past.
