Vidyut Jammwal: Action is a niche thing

As an action hero, Vidyut Jammwal has raised the bar with his high-octane stunt sequences. But interestingly, the actor, who has now completed a decade in the industry, says that becoming a star was never his dream. He shares, “I just had one mission — I wanted everyone to know what Kalaripayattu is. I never thought, ‘Mujhe hero banna hai.’ Today, I am proud that I have taken it to the world. When I met Jackie Chan at the Jackie Chan International Film Week, he acknowledged Kalaripayattu as an Indian martial art form, and for me, it was a huge achievement.”As an action hero, Vidyut Jammwal has raised the bar with his high-octane stunt sequences.
