    The movie will salute the valour of the Indian Air Force through the film. The project was earlier touted to hit the screens in September 2022 but has now been pushed forward to 2023. Deepika Padukone, Siddarth Anand and Hrithik Roshan got together a few weeks ago and also shared pictures as they began prepping for the film.

    Before fighter Hrithik and Deepika have prior commitments to keep with the actress busy working on Pathan with Shah Rukh Khan also helmed by Siddharth Anand, while Hrithik has the Vikram Vedha remake and Krrish 4 to get done.

    Fighter is being produced by Ajit Andhare (Viacom18 Studios), Mamta Anand, Ramon Chibb and Anku Pande.
