Fans are super excited to watch this promising patriotic film ‘Fighter’ on screens. The buzz of the film is all around right now. The advance booking of the Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone starrer film ‘Fighter’ has already begun. The Hindi-language action entertainer, directed by Siddharth Anand, serves as the first film in a planned aerial action franchise and is all set to release in theaters on January 25, 2024. During the trailer launch and promotional events of the film, Deepika Padukone’s absence was highly felt, and now director Siddharth Anand has revealed the reason behind it. Here’s what Siddharth Anand had to say…
In conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Siddharth Anand shared why Deepika Padukone was absent during the trailer launch and other promotional activities. “This is a promotional strategy that we have taken. You will start seeing Deepika from tomorrow everywhere. People put a lot of conjectures into things. Deepika was supposed to come for the trailer launch, but she was under the weather. And now she is going to be everywhere; our strategy is such,” Siddharth Anand revealed.
“Deepika and Hrithik’s pair is one of the major highlights. And it’s a huge excitement for me as a filmmaker to see both of them (together). So, I can imagine that even the audience is waiting for (her). You will start seeing them closer to the release. Also, we didn’t want too much of Hrithik and Deepika before the release. We wanted people to enjoy them on the big screen. We didn’t want that saturation,” Siddharth Anand added.
