Fighter motion poster: Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor don colours of armed forces, give a Top Gun vibe

Next, we are introduced to Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor, who also seem to be playing Air Force officers in the movie. To keep up with the patriotic flavour of the day, the motion poster has a rendition of ‘Vande Mataram’ playing in the background.

Salute to our glorious Nation, Vande Mataram! Happy Independence Day 🇮🇳 #SpiritOfFighter

Talking about the film, Anand, who is also making his debut as a producer under his production company Marflix, earlier shared, “Fighter is a dream project, and I am glad to have someone with Ajit Andhare (COO, Viacom18 Studios) vision to be partnering this with me. With this film, we aim to put Indian films on the map for action-loving global theatrical audiences who crave for spectacle and the big screen experience.”

The makers are calling Fighter India’s “first aerial action drama.” In an earlier statement, the makers said that “the film will be shot across the world and will pay tribute to the valour and sacrifice of the country’s armed forces.”

Both Deepika and Hrithik have previously collaborated with Siddharth Anand. While Hrithik has worked with him on two movies, Bang Bang and War, Anand directed Deepika in the comedy Bachna Ae Haseeno and Pathaan.

The film, bankrolled by Viacom18 Studios, Mamta Anand, Ramon Chibb and Anku Pande, will release on January 25, 2024.
