Actor Vidyut Jammwal says he is surprised by how much knowledge some of his Hollywood co-stars have about kalaripayattu as he prepares for the release of “Street Fighter.” He links his own background to the role of Dhalsim, describing a shared martial-arts connection and noting that several co-stars appear familiar with the Indian art form.

Both outlets frame his comments as part of the promotional run for the film, which features an ensemble cast of action stars. Times of India adds details that the movie is scheduled to release on October 16 and names Jason Momoa and 50 Cent among the cast. NDTV highlights Jammwal’s remark that his co-stars can even perform elements such as blowing a conch, underscoring the extent of their familiarity.

The story centers on Jammwal’s perspective on cultural and martial-arts knowledge within the international cast, rather than on plot specifics or broader industry claims.
