BOMBAY TIMES (July 21, 2020)

Bollywood action star Vidyut Jammwal has made it to the ‘10 People You Don’t Want To Mess With’ list published by the portal, TheRichest. His name features alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is a 9th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo, and the world-renowned adventurer and TV host, Bear Grylls.

Vidyut is the first Indian actor to feature on the coveted list. Known for executing complex fight sequences on screen without using a body double, he has been described as one of the most “dangerous highly skilled martial artistes” by the portal. The Yaara actor has often remarked that fighting is not just about muscles and strength. The website has quoted him as saying, “Punching and kicks don’t make a great martial artiste, learning patience and upsetting the balance of one’s opponent completes him as one.”

The actor, who was initiated into Kalaripayattu at the age of three, grew up focussing on fitness and training for endurance. He is touted to have done live action shows in more than 25 countries. Recently, Vidyut introduced a new segment on his channel on a video-sharing platform. Titled X-Rayed By Vidyut, it showcases the lives of legends of the action world.

Previously, Vidyut has featured on various published lists such as ‘Top 10 Martial Artists Of The World’, ‘The Times 50 Most Desirable Men’, ‘Top 5 Fittest Men’, ‘Best Bodies’ and ‘Sexiest Men Alive’. He was also adjudged as one of PETA India’s Hottest Vegetarian Celebrities.
