Fighter, starring Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan, dropped its second song Ishq Jaisa Kuch on Friday. The song is set on a beachside and can best be described as a love song for the lead couple. Composed by Vishal & Sheykhar with vocals by Vishal & Sheykhar, Shilpa Rao and Mellow D, the song has been penned by Kumaar.
The song might grow on the audience but the initial impact left by Deepika and Hrithik is simply unmissable. It also makes you wonder why no one ever cast Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in the same film even though they have been contemporaries for over a decade and a half.

Even though Deepika and Hrithik had never worked together, the Om Shanti Om actor was very confident about her chemistry with Hrithik. In a chat in 2022 with Bollywood Hungama, when she was asked about the same, Deepika said, “I mean, have you seen us?” She also shared, “Yeah, I have always wanted to work with him. I feel like it’s the… You know, sometimes it’s not about working with someone. I feel like there are so many things. It has to be the right script, it has to be the right director, the right time in your life. So many things that decide (whether to do a movie or not). So yeah, I guess it’s the right time for us to come together.”
Fighter also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi. The film is being directed by Siddharth Anand who previously directed one of 2023’s biggest hits, Pathaan. Siddharth has also worked with Hrithik previously in War, which was also one of the biggest hits of 2019.
Fighter releases on January 25.
