Cody Rhodes can’t stop gushing about Vidyut Jammwal’s shredded frame, dubbing him the ‘India’s Jackie Chan’ on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant Podcast. The WWE icon’s words came hot off the heels of their joint venture in the live‑action adaptation of Street Fighter, released this month.
Rhodes, who takes on the role of Guile, said, “I have never seen anyone like him.” He added that Jammwal’s body is “absolutely shredded” and that the actor’s personality is “fascinating.” Those words were echoed by Schulz, who called Jammwal “one of the most handsome, and his body is absolutely shredded.” The comparison to Jackie Chan snapped the conversation into a new league of action‑film stardom.
Jammwal, the Kalaripayattu master behind Dhalsim, has carved a reputation in Bollywood with grueling fight sequences that test the limits of human endurance. His Hollywood debut, a full‑throttle showcase of martial arts and charisma, proves that his fitness game can wow even the most seasoned wrestlers. The film’s release on October 16 gave fans a chance to see the chemistry that sparked Rhodes’ adoration.
Beyond the biceps, Rhodes highlighted Jammwal’s thoughtful gestures on set, hinting at a bond that extends past the camera. The shared screen time and mutual respect suggest a crossover appeal that could see the pair tackling more projects together—an enticing prospect for fans of both wrestling and action cinema.
So, what’s next? Jammwal’s rising Hollywood profile and Rhodes’ endorsement could pave the way for a high‑octane collab that blends wrestling theatrics with Indian martial artistry. Stay tuned for the next chapter in this unlikely partnership.
Verdict: Vidyut Jammwal’s chiseled charisma and cross‑continental appeal make him a force that even WWE superstars can’t help but admire.
