Imagine Hrithik Roshan getting a dance complex. The actor has revealed that he thought his Fighter co-star Deepika Padukone was dancing more effortlessly while they filmed the dance sequence Sher Khul Gaye. Hrithik Roshan said he was so enamored by how Deepika was dancing that he had to “copy” her style.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, Fighter marks the first on screen pairing of Hrithik and Deepika. In the aerial actioner, the duo plays Indian Air Force pilots. During a media interaction on Tuesday, Hrithik spoke about his experience of working with Deepika and recalled the day of filming Sher Khul Gaye track.

“I had obviously put in a lot of effort in getting the steps rights. But when I saw Deepika doing the same steps, I was like this is looking so effortless man!” To which Deepika, who was sitting next to the actor, whispers to Siddharth Anand, “Now he is embarrassing me!”
But Hrithik continued and said he asked Deepika if she could do the steps again for him. “We were on sets, cameras were ready but I said no I am not doing this until I understand what is going wrong with my steps. I asked her to do the step, I saw what she was doing and then I copied what her style was!
“I was getting lost in the technicalities of the step. But when I saw her, I felt it was looking effortless. I thought I am going to change the step a little and do it the way she does it. That enhanced my dance as well.”
Deepika said it was too big a compliment coming from Hrithik, who is known for his dancing. “I find this very hard to believe because I never trust anything he says. But he did mention this to me! An actor and dancer of his caliber saying this… I just don’t take it seriously!”
Hrithik said collaborating with Deepika for Fighter was seamless experience as both the stars were on sets as performers, who worked to bring out the best in each other for the film.
“With Deepika, that became really, really easy because she brings a lot of realism in her work. So I was just constantly bouncing off of that. Each line she says comes from a deep place and I could tell that this was real. If I don’t maintain that, it might look that I am overdoing things so I had to ensure that I am on that frequency. Thanks to her, all the scenes of Minni and Patty look extremely vulnerable, endearing, and very real,” he added.
Also starring Anil Kapoor, Fighter is set to release on January 25. It is the third film of Siddharth Anand with Hrithik Roshan after Bang Bang and War.
