Fighter: Deepika Padukone-Hrithik Roshan’s Action Movie To Pay Tribute To Armed Forces

Deepika Padukone-Hrithik Roshan to star in Siddharth Anand's actioner fighter. The action-fighter movie will salute the offering and heroism of the country's armed forces.

The makers of the action film have announced that Hritik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter will be the country’s first-ever aerial action drama. They also mentioned that it will be shot across the country.

Talking about the film, Anand, who is also making his debut as a producer under his production company Marflix, shared that "He's glad to have Ajit Andhare (COO, Viacom18 Studios) vision in his team as this film is Anand's dream project. He also mentioned that his team aims to put Indian films on the map for action-loving global theatrical audiences who crave for exhibition and big-screen experience." The director is currently busy in the making of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathan.  

Hrithik Roshan shared photos with the team of the film “This gang is ready for take off. #Fighter” he captioned the photos.

The fighter was outlined in January 2021 on the occasion of Roshan's birthday. The actor had shared a teaser of the film and had said, “It is an honour for me as an actor to introduce and be a part of Mamta and Sid Anand’s first production Fighter for Marflix!"

He also mentioned that this movie is special because his association with Anand goes long back when the director started off his career from being an AD on Roshan's sets to directing him in War and Bang Bang. "Now as he turns producer for Fighter, I can’t seem to contain my excitement. This one is pure adrenaline for the heart and mind. So here goes! Boom! Thank you Sid for believing in me and making me your co-passenger yet again. Here’s to your journey towards the sky!” he added.
