I think I’ve worked all my life to get this role. I was surrounded by legends, whether it was 50 Cent, WWE wrestlers and more,” he said during the event.
Vidyut Jammwal on Hollywood work culture
One of his key points was about how Bollywood and Hollywood differ. “People want to work overtime there because they are paid for each extra minute they work. In Hollywood, even the biggest star on set reaches on time; no one is late, whether you are Jason Momoa or anyone. All 300 people on set follow that discipline. And if you’re late, even by a minute, you will get a call from the production asking, ‘Are you ok, or are you in the hospital?’,” he concluded.‘Street Fighter’ is set to hit theatres on October 16, 2026.
