Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim in Street Fighter: The Teaser is Out and We Are Screaming!

Okay, stop literally everything you are doing right now because the internet just broke, and for once, it’s for the best reason possible. The teaser for the live-action Street Fighter movie just dropped at The Game Awards in LA, and our very own Vidyut Jammwal has officially entered the chat as Dhalsim. Yes, you heard that right. Our desi action god is making his big Hollywood debut, and he is looking absolutely lethal. The timeline is chaotic, the hype is real, and frankly, this is the main character energy we’ve been manifesting for Indian representation in global cinema. Let’s spill the tea on this legendary reveal! 

The Breakdown

The Look: Bald, Badass & Game-Accurate

First things first Vidyut’s transformation is living rent-free in my head. We are used to seeing him with his signature locks, but for Street Fighter, he’s gone fully game-accurate. We’re talking a bald look, the iconic red markings of the yoga master, and heavy metal cuffs on his wrists and ankles. It’s not just about the look, though. The 45-second teaser shows him doing what he does best: defying gravity. The man is a literal martial artist (Kalaripayattu represent!), so watching him embody Dhalsim’s fighting style feels less like acting and more like a documentary of his daily workout. This isn't a "blink-and-miss" cameo; he is bringing the heat literally, Yoga Fire vibes incoming.

The Cast is Stacked (and Wild)

Can we talk about this fever dream of a cast? It’s like the casting director threw darts at a board of "Coolest People on Earth" and hired everyone.

• Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim (obviously, the King).

• Jason Momoa as Blanka (Aquaman goes green?).

• Roman Reigns as Akuma (Acknowledge him! ).

• 50 Cent as Balrog (In da club, fighting?).

• Noah Centineo & Andrew Koji as Ken & Ryu.

This ensemble is chaotic good, and we are here for it. Seeing Vidyut stand shoulder-to-shoulder with global icons like Jason Momoa and the Tribal Chief himself? Absolute scenes.

Desi Boyz Supporting Desi Boyz

The only thing better than the teaser is the bromance on Twitter (X). Tiger Shroff immediately hopped online to hype up his senior, tweeting, "No better fit for this bhai... looking forward to this one." It’s giving wholesome, supportive bestie energy. Vidyut also posted a montage with the caption, "In the company of warriors, I find my tribe." Honestly? We stan humble kings supporting each other.

The Plot & The Wait

The movie is set in 1993 (retro aesthetic check) and revolves around the World Warrior Tournament. Ryu and Ken are recruited by Chun-Li to face a deadly conspiracy. It’s directed by Kitao Sakurai, so expect style, substance, and a lot of broken bones. The bad news? We have to wait until October 2026. I know, tragic. But for a theatrical release of this scale? We will be seated.
