Actor-comedian Andrew Schulz, who shares the screen with Vidyut, recently discussed their first meeting on his Brilliant Idiots podcast. Andrew initially mistook Vidyut's everyday clothing for his film costume and teased him about it, not realizing that was how the martial artist normally dressed. The confusion lasted around ten minutes. Andrew also surprised listeners by revealing that Vidyut does not believe in protein, calling it a myth despite his impressive physique. Vidyut has been a vegetarian for over a decade and relies on plant-based protein sources for fitness. The film, directed by Kitao Sakurai, features an ensemble cast including Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, and 50 Cent. It is scheduled for theatrical release in October 2026.
