Jason Momoa does not hold back when it comes to talking about his ‘Street Fighter’ co-star Vidyut Jammwal. The Hollywood actor called the Indian star one of the most beautiful men he has ever seen. He also made no secret of his desire to work in Bollywood, and said Vidyut should be the one to make it happen.
What Jason Momoa said
During a recent interview with Zoom, Momoa was asked about working with Vidyut on the upcoming film. His response was direct and enthusiastic.
“He’s one of the most beautiful-looking men I’ve ever seen in my life. He is so talented. He’s unbelievable,” Momoa said.
He then turned his attention to his own ambitions. Momoa joked that Vidyut owes him a Bollywood entry. “He should get me a job in Bollywood. He should have something set up for me. We should do something together. It’d be fun. And I said it, and I’m sticking with it,” Momoa said. He added that he is eager to visit India someday.

Vidyut Jammwal’s Hollywood debut
Street Fighter is Vidyut Jammwal’s first film in Hollywood. He plays Dhalsim, one of the most well-known characters from the Street Fighter video game franchise. Dhalsim is an Indian fighter known for his yoga-based combat style and mystical persona.
The first look released by the production team showed Vidyut in a completely transformed appearance. He sports a shaved head marked with bold red stripes. His build is lean and muscular. The costume includes tattered orange drapes, heavy metal bangles, and tribal accessories, all of which tie into Dhalsim’s character design from the games.
The look received a strong reaction online, with many fans praising how unrecognisable Vidyut was in the role.
