They tweeted, “#FighterInTheatres On #RepublicDay 2023, get ready to experience India’s first aerial action franchise #Fighter starring @iHrithik and @deepikapadukone @AndhareAjit #SiddharthAnand @itsMamtaA @MarflixP @ramonchibb @ankupande.”
“‘Fighter’ is a dream project and I am glad to have someone with Ajit’s vision to be partnering this with me. With this film we aim to put Indian films on the map for action-loving global theatrical audiences who crave for spectacle and the big screen experience,” said director Anand.

Speaking about the project, Ajit Andhare, COO, Viacom18 Studios, said: “An aerial action film offers a unique cinematic experience. It has never been done in India. Being a ‘Top Gun’ fan, I have been looking for a script for years that explores aerial action and has a story rooted in India.
‘Fighter’ is the answer. Siddharth understands this genre and brings a unique flair to his films. I am excited to collaborate with him in building this franchise.” ‘Fighter’ will be made on a massive scale for a global audience.
