Vidyut Jammwal has been making waves in the entertainment industry as the actor is all set to make his much-awaited Hollywood debut. The martial arts specialist has now been confirmed as the cast of the live-action reboot of Street Fighter. The movie is based on the popular video game franchise and boasts a large ensemble cast with many leading Hollywood stars like Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa, Callina Liang, Roman Reigns, Orville Peck, Cody Rhodes, Andrew Schulz, Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson and David Dastmalchian.

Paramount Pictures officially released a new poster that showed the entire cast of the movie. Their post’s caption read, "Secrets don’t last long in the arena - Street Fighter is now in production. In theaters October 16, 2026. Let the tournament begin!" The Commando actor will play the role of Dhalsim, an iconic yogi known for his fire-spitting abilities and stretchy limbs, but at his core, he is a peaceful man. He fights not out of aggression, but to earn money to support his family.

Vidyut Jammwal's real-life martial arts expertise made him the perfect choice to play the part. His role will be the only Indian character in the movie. Helmed by Kitao Sakurai, the movie is scheduled for release on October 16, 2026.
