Vidyut Jammwal showcases Kalaripayattu mastery as Dhalsim in Street Fighter

Vidyut Jammwal will play Dhalsim in a new live-action Street Fighter movie.

A trailer shows some of his fighting as the character.

Dhalsim is known for stretching, yoga-inspired movements and fire powers.

These moves are difficult to show with real actors.

Jammwal has trained in Kalaripayattu, an ancient Indian martial art.

Kalaripayattu requires flexibility, balance and discipline.

The movie is based on the Street Fighter video game series.

Kitao Sakurai directed the film, which is planned for theaters on 16 October next year.
