Overview
- In mid‑June Jason Momoa told Zoom that Vidyut Jammwal is “one of the most beautiful‑looking men” he has seen and joked that Jammwal should help him get a role in Bollywood.
- The exchange was part of ongoing publicity for Street Fighter and has amplified interest in Jammwal’s Hollywood debut as Dhalsim.
- Observers and fans have noted that Jammwal’s real‑world Kalaripayattu and action experience are being used to argue that his casting fits the iconic Dhalsim character.
- Earlier promotional moments, including Jammwal leading co‑stars in chanting the Gayatri Mantra at CinemaCon, have already drawn attention to the film’s international marketing approach.
- Street Fighter features a large international ensemble and is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on October 16, 2026, a rollout that the cast’s cross‑cultural comments are helping to promote.
