Bollywood action hero Vidyut Jammwal recently got on a video chat with Thailand's martial arts star Tony Jaa. Jaa is an internationally acclaimed action icon who has starred in global blockbusters such as "Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior", "Tom-Yum-Goong" and "Furious 7". "I have always had great respect and regard for Tony. He is the single biggest factor for Muay Thai having found global recognition and is practised worldwide. I know and understand that to achieve this, one goes beyond just a life dedicated to fitness and the martial arts," said Vidyut, who trains rigorously in Kalaripayattu. Yaara Trailer: Vidyut Jammwal, Amit Sadh, Vijay Varma and Kennu Basumatar’s Endearing Friendship Stands the Test of Time (Watch Video)
