About Fighter

Directed by Siddharth Anand of Pathaan and War fame, the movie is billed as a tribute to the valour, sacrifice and patriotism of the Indian armed forces. It is presented by Viacom18 Studios in collaboration with Siddharth and his wife Mamata Anand's production house Marflix Pictures.

According to the film’s official synopsis, the movie is about a new and elite unit, Air Dragons, which is commissioned by the Air Headquarters in response to militant activities in the Srinagar Valley.

“They are now the first responders to any hostile activity. They comprise of the best combat aviators handpicked from across the IAF. Fighter is the story of Air Dragons who are willing to give it their all for the nation while going through the highs and lows of their internal and external battles,” it read.

Fighter also stars Akshay Oberoi, Karan Singh Grover and Sanjeeda Sheikh. In Fighter, Hrithik plays Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania, whose aviator call sign is "Patty".

"The uniform has some magic. There have been three costumes that I have worn (in my career). Like (superhero film) Krrish had a cape and a costume and when I wore that, I felt strong. In Lakshya, when I wore the uniform (of an Indian Army officer), it gave me strength. "And in Fighter, when I wore the uniform, I felt a responsibility, weight and strength. The power you derive from a uniform is difficult to replicate. It is a surreal feeling. It works and you actually feel the power," the 50-year-old told PTI in January, ahead of the film's theatrical release.
