Fighter Release Highlights: Fans Love Hrithik Roshan And Deepika Padukone's Chemistry In The Action Flick
Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor starrer Fighter has released in theatres on Jan 25, 2024.
The movie 'Fighter', which premiered in theaters today, was a huge hit among audiences because of the amazing chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone.
Here is what viewers are saying:
Actor Rishabh Sawhney, who will be seen playing villain in the Hrithik Roshan-starrer ‘Fighter’, did all it takes for his transformation for the upcoming film.
Talking about his transformation, Rishabh told news agency IANS: “It was a very exciting, excruciating and fulfilling journey for me. This was the first time I could actually put on muscle for a role. Coming from a bodybuilding background, I knew this was something that will play in my favour and I’d been waiting to get a chance to gain muscle and grow big.”
“I have been working out consistently for 8-9 years now and it’s been my lifesaver.”
‘Fighter’ serves as Rishabh’s dream Bollywood debut. Before this, he was a part of Nikkhil Advani’s 'The Empire', which marked his OTT debut.
Quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rishabh added: “He had said this ‘First I made my body and then my body made me’ and this line has been stuck in my head since I read it. I’ve had injuries in my shoulder and ankle because of heavy lifting but it never stopped me and it all paid off when I bagged this role.”
“Being a model, I had to stay lean pretty much all the time and I wouldn’t get to experiment much in terms of physique, but with 'Fighter', I got to do that.”
Rishabh reveals that when he met director Siddharth Anand, he weighed 69 kgs and was told to put on size for the film. By the time they started shooting, he was at 78-79 kgs in a span of 5 months.

While a mission to launch an attack in Kashmir is planned, Indian jet pilots, led by a freshly assembled group of exceptionally talented aviators, are getting ready to defend the nation. As all of this is going on, Hrithik Roshan, who plays Patty, joins the squad to combat the looming threat while also dealing with a personal tragedy. The Indian forces launch air control over LoC in response to an attack on the CRPF convoy. The film kicks off with a recounting of a horrific encounter from the Pulwama incident, which occurred in 2019 when a vehicle-borne suicide bomber struck a convoy of vehicles moving Indian security officers on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.
The airstrike on Balakot serves as a reminder to the Pakistani military that India will no longer remain silent in the face of such assaults. But although the Indian air force celebrates at the mission's success, the Mujahideen see it as an insult to their dignity and start plotting retaliation.
Prior to the interval, Patty loses another person while tackling Pakistani airmen. The event worsens the already problematic relationship between Patty and squadron leader Rocky (Anil Kapoor).
The advance bookings figure of 'Fighter' had also crossed the Rs. 7 cr mark with sales over 214,000 tickect, an ETimes report quoted. The expected final sale, as per the same report, will be around Rs. 8 cr.
'Fighter' starring Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor has been released amid much fanfare. The Siddharth Anand directorial has opened to a massive response upon release. Fans are calling the film a 'mega blockbuster', 'super action film', 'a masterpiece' with top-notch cinematography, action and performances.
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone talked about her experience filming "Fighter" at the Tezpur Air Force Station in Assam. Padukone is currently waiting for the film to be released.
"I remember we shot our first schedule in Assam for 15-20 days. That was a live active airbase. It was a great decision on Sid's (Siddharth Anand) part to start the film on that note. It gave us the tone and the pitch to carry the story forward. The real aircrafts, fighters and their families were there. We were eating in the same place as the officers and we were living in their quarters," she told news agency IANS.
She further mentioned, "We played badminton with them. It was all so surreal, we could literally hear a sukhoi aircraft taking off every five minutes. There's not much information beyond this that we can share given the protocols of the forces. Some fighters were also assigned to work with us. They gave us extremely valuable inputs in terms of the costumes, flying the aircraft, the body language, how to salute and flying a chopper. Not just as actors but also as human beings we all learned so much."
