The long-anticipated trailer for Siddharth Anand’s film “Fighter” was released on Monday, promising an intense and gripping experience for the audience. The trailer introduces Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh, portrayed by Anil Kapoor, who commands a “special response team” led by Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania (Hrithik Roshan) and Squadron Leader Minal Rathore (played by Deepika Padukone). The narrative begins with an emphasis on building strong interpersonal relations within the team, highlighted by moments of camaraderie in Jammu and Kashmir.
However, the tranquility is disrupted by a terrorist attack in Pulwama, prompting Hrithik, Deepika, and their elite team to embark on a critical mission. The storyline intensifies with a retaliatory airstrike from across the border. The trailer provides a glimpse of high-octane aerial action sequences, setting the stage for an action-packed cinematic experience. The central question lingers: Can Hrithik Roshan’s character, driven by a patriotic mission, save his country and seek justice for fallen comrades? Audiences will find out when the film hits theaters on January 25th.
Hrithik Roshan shared the trailer on his Instagram, expressing his dedication to the sky and the country, echoing the sentiment of the film’s theme – “Dil aakaash ke naam, aur jaan desh ke naam. Jai Hind (the heart is dedicated to the sky and life is dedicated to the country. Jai Hind).”
“Fighter” marks the first collaboration between Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan. While Hrithik and director Siddharth Anand have previously collaborated on projects like “Bang Bang” and the 2019 blockbuster “War,” this film represents Deepika Padukone’s third collaboration with Siddharth Anand after “Bachna Ae Haseeno” and the 2023 hit “Pathaan,” co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. The film’s trailer promises a thrilling combination of action, emotion, and patriotism, creating anticipation for its release.
