Finally! A proper Street Fighter movie after all these years. Jason Momoa as Zangief would be perfect! Hope they don't mess this up like the 1994 version. Indian fans have been waiting decades for a good adaptation. 🤞

Interesting casting choices but where's the representation for Asian characters? Street Fighter has iconic Japanese/Chinese fighters like Ryu, Chun-Li. Andrew Koji is great but hope they don't whitewash other roles. Bollywood could do better justice to martial arts films!

Roman Reigns as Balrog? That would be dope! But seriously, hope they capture the essence of arcade gaming we grew up with in India. Those 5-rupee coins spent at gaming parlors were totally worth it for Street Fighter matches!

Not sure about Noah Centineo - he seems too boyish for Street Fighter. They need more rugged actors for this. Also hoping for some Indian representation! Maybe a cameo from Tiger Shroff or someone who can actually do martial arts justice.

As long as they include the Hadouken and Shoryuken moves properly, I'm sold! Hollywood should learn from Indian action films - we know how to make fight sequences look epic without too much CGI.
