Vidyut Jammwal, Actor
If you weren’t an actor, you would have been...
I am a martial artist first and then an actor.
Which classic film would you have loved to work in?
Jackie Chan’s Police Story.

The fact that I swept all the debut awards that year despite playing a villain.
The fittest actors in Bollywood.
Hrithik Roshan and Suniel Shetty.
Your fitness funda.
Listen to your body and understand what it needs. Eat for your stomach and not your eyes.
Did you go through any special training for your stunts in Commando?
I’ve been training in kalaripayattu since I was three years old. We worked hard to create stunts that would be visual spectacles. I trained for months.
Your greatest extravagance.

One director you want to work with.
From Dibakar Banerjee, Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Kashyap to Vipul Shah and Tigmanshu Dhulia, I want to work with all of them.
One thing nobody knows about you.
I was once referred to as ‘Apple Bottoms’. How embarrassing!
Your favourite street food?
Bhel and pani puri.
The best thing about Bollywood is...
The consistently evolving narrative and style of storytelling, along with how the industry welcomes talented people, even from a non-film background.
Your strategy in a crisis is...
To go through the crisis. That’s the best strategy.

Gulab jamuns. I’ve been craving them for some time.
CommandoThe song that lifts your spirits.
Lutt Jawan from Commando.
