'Street Fighter': Vidyut Jammwal's Look as Dhalsim From His Hollywood Debut Revealed
The film also stars Noah Centineo and Callina Liang.
Hindi film actor Vidyut Jammwal, who will be making his Hollywood debut with the upcoming action film Street Fighter, got a suave introduction. Jammwal, who sports a bald look with war paint on his face, will be playing Dhalsim in the action film.
Based on the popular video game franchise of the same name, the film also co-stars Andrew Koji of Bullet Train as Ryu, Noah Centineo, the star of the To All the Boys series, as Ken Masters, Jason Momoa as the electrifying green creature-human hybrid Blanka, and Callina Liang as the spin-kicking Chun-Li. The film also features WWE superstars Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i and Cody Rhodes as Akuma and Guile. "Stretch beyond your limits. VIDYUT JAMMWAL is DHALSIM. #StreetFighterMovie hits theatres everywhere October 16, 2026," Jammwal's poster read. The makers of the film had also released a brief teaser with glimpses of their key characters.
The teaser was launched at the 2025 Game Awards, where Paramount Pictures and Legendary Pictures unveiled the video.
Street Fighter is directed by Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip) and written by Dalan Musson. According to Billboard, it is set in the year 1993 and follows the lives of Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo), "two Street Fighters who are drawn back into battle when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the upcoming World Warrior Tournament. Beneath the facade of this fierce and deadly battle royale lies a conspiracy that forces them to confront their past demons and ultimately face each other."
Jammwal was last seen in AR Murugadoss' Madharaasi, a Tamil action drama alongside Sivakarthikeyan and Rukmini Vasanth. "On one hand, you have a supervillain named Chirag (Shabeer) who has a titanium-plated left arm. And on the other hand, we get Vidyut Jammwal playing Virat, a mega-villain who is less human, more fidget spinner. But the result is enjoyable, with kickass action blocks making way for highly entertaining dramatic sequences," read THR India's review of the film.
