Vidyut Jammwal was recently present at a special event of Paramount Pictures in Mumbai for his upcoming action film, Street Fighter. During this, Vidyut connected with the fans on a personal level, speaking about his experiences on the set and getting to work with international talents on such a globally recognized franchise for his official Hollywood debut.
He never shied away from speaking highly about his co-stars, ranging from WWE stars like Roman Reigns to hip-hop icons like 50 Cent. During the segment, one question sprung up the curiosity on how differently he felt working in Hollywood as compared to Bollywood.
To this, he highlighted how a contrasting difference can be noticed with respect to discipline. He said, “There is a huge difference. I used to hear from my friends who are actors and knew about Hollywood that the budgets there were much higher. But I have seen the discipline here. For the first time, I have seen 300 people on a set following such discipline.
While discipline can be translated across various factors, the one thing in particular he spoke about was the willingness to be prompt. He continued, “There, no actor, whether it is 50 Cent, Jason Momoa, or Cody Rhodes, is ever late. They simply don’t have a concept of arriving late. There is no such thing as being late. If someone is late by one minute, makers call them to know if they are not doing well. It’s a massive difference.”
Vidyut also added just how strict the laws were in terms of being remunerated for your time working. “Laws are so strict. If you are doing overtime, every technician gets extra money for every minute. Technicians wait to do overtime because they don’t think they will be betrayed. The laws are very different. So when you experience something like this with some legends around, you realise this is different. It will take us time to reach that level. We are following the rules and laws, but we can get better and do more.”
Vidyut Jammwal, on the role, spoke on how he was subconsciously preparing for it all his life. He also connected his own training with the spirit of his character from the game. He said, “In the game, it’s just the limbs that get extended. But in the real martial art training of Kalaripayattu, the extension is the mind… And the mind can reach any way you desire.”
A special promo was released for Vidyut Jammwal’s Dhalsim in which the director of Street Fighter, Kitao Sakurai, shared a few words of praise. He said, “It’s not Street Fighter without Dhalsim… And Vidyut Jammwal… He is Dhalsim in every fibre of his being… He is a martial arts yoga master who’s devoted his life to these ancient ways and traditions.”
