Siddharth Anand reveals ‘Pathaan’ Shah Rukh Khan’s reaction to Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter trailer: ‘He loved the look of the villain’

Filmmaker Siddharth Anand, who collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan, revealed the superstar's positive reaction after watching the trailer of his upcoming film, Fighter.

Shah Rukh Khan praised Fighter's trailer.

Filmmaker Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan joined forces for the first time in the blockbuster Pathaan, which went on to earn over Rs 1000 crore worldwide. The success of Pathaan not only marked a professional collaboration but also fostered a friendship between Siddharth and SRK. In a recent interview, Siddharth revealed SRK’s positive reaction after watching the trailer of his upcoming film, Fighter.

According to Siddharth, Shah Rukh Khan was thoroughly ‘impressed’ with the Fighter trailer. He told News18, “Shah Rukh loved the trailer. In fact, I met him the day it was released. He loved the look of the villain and the stunts. According to him, the CGI appeared very seamless. He was very impressed.”

During the conversation, the filmmaker admitted that Pathaan’s success has set the bar too high for him and he feels the ‘pressure of the expectations’ from his audience. The filmmaker, however, doesn’t want Fighter to be compared to Pathaan. He said, “I don’t expect that this time around. With Pathaan, it just happened. I got blessed with it. Pathaan was blessed and special. But I don’t want Fighter to be compared to anything. I didn’t want Pathaan to be compared to War either. I want Fighter to chart its own world because it’s its own film.”
