Fighter: First screening of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone-starrer to be held in Delhi for IAF officers


Amidst the anticipation of cinema enthusiasts nationwide, the first special screening of the blockbuster-to-be ‘Fighter’, starring the dynamic duo Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, is slated to commence in the nation’s capital, Delhi. This screening is unique not only for its star-studded cast but for its honored guests – the members of the Indian Air Force (IAF), to whom the film is reverently dedicated.

Director Siddharth Anand’s ‘Fighter’ takes to the cinematic skies infusing adrenaline-powered action sequences with an impassioned narrative of patriotism. The film promises to weave a compelling tribute to the gallant IAF officers who wield their bravery and commitment as a shield to safeguard the sovereignty of our skies.

The capital, known for its vibrant history and political significance, will play host to this much-anticipated event at Chanakyapuri. Here, amidst the halls steeped in national pride, our valorous Air Warriors will get an exclusive opportunity to view a film that mirrors their own lives of dedication and sacrifice.

The filmmakers, along with the lead stars, Hrithik and Deepika, and director Siddharth Anand, are gearing up to make the journey to Delhi, ensuring they are present to share this momentous occasion with the respected members of the IAF. This gesture stands as a testament to the team’s respect and gratitude towards the individuals who form the backbone of India’s aerial defense forces.

Produced by Viacom18 Studios in collaboration with Marflix Pictures, ‘Fighter’ stands as a paragon of film-making that blends edge-of-the-seat stunts and affection for the motherland. The film’s narrative promises to engage the audience with its high-octane action while simultaneously tugging at their heartstrings with the spirit of nationalism.

The cast lineup is nothing short of impressive. Hrithik Roshan embodies the character of Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania, affectionately known as Patty, while Deepika Padukone plays Squadron Leader Minal Rathore, or Minni. Adding to the film’s powerful presence is Anil Kapoor in the role of Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh, known amongst his comrades as Rocky. These characters are not mere figments of imagination but representations of the meticulous valor found in every corner of the IAF. Akshay Oberoi and Karan Singh Grover also adorn the cast, adding layers to the already gripping plot.

The movie has also released a pulsating trio of songs ahead of its premiere, each distinct in mood and rhythm. ‘Heer Aasmani,’ the film’s ode to the sky warriors, sets the tone with its pilot theme, while ‘Sher Khul Gaye’ invites viewers to a celebratory setting where the cast can be seen unwinding in high spirits at a pub. In stark contrast, ‘Ishq Jaisa Kuch’ illuminates the undeniable chemistry between the lead pair as they match their dance steps on a picturesque beach.

As ‘Fighter’ prepares to soar into theaters on January 25th, 2024, it encapsulates the multidimensional life within the IAF – the elation, the sacrifices, and the unconquerable spirit of the heroes in blue. The film lends itself as a canvas, painting a portrait of the men and women who, through their unwavering commitment, ensure the nation sleeps peacefully under the blanket of stars they call their own.

Cinephiles and patriots alike are urged to brace themselves for what promises to be not just a movie but an experience that seeks to redefine the boundaries of cinematic brilliance. ‘Fighter’ is on its path to ignite the hearts of Indian filmgoers and resonate with the ethos of India’s adored protectors of the sky.
