Unbelievable action sequences and jaw-dropping fighting scenes are a key reason behind the popularity of Bollywood movies at the global level. Even those who don’t understand the language watch Bollywood movies just for action sequences and stunts.

A recent survey revealed that Vidyut Jamwal is among the top 10 martial artists in the world. Trained in Kalaripayattu, Jamwal has set a standard that is difficult to match. If you have not seen the likes of Vidyut Jamwal, Tiger Shroff, and John Abraham in action yet, it’s high time you do.
