Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter has landed in trouble. The makers of the film have received a legal notice over a kissing scene between the lead actors. As reported by India TV, an officer of the Indian Air Force, Wing Commander Saumya Deep Das, has filed this notice and accused the film of “normalising inappropriate behaviour in uniform.”
As per the report, the notice filed against Fighter is titled, “Legal Notice for Defamation, Insult and Negative Impact of Indian Air Force and its Officers.” It reminded the makers that the IAF uniform is not merely a piece of clothing but “a powerful symbol of unwavering commitment to duty, national security and selfless service”.
“It embodies the highest ideals of sacrifice, discipline, and unwavering dedication to protecting our nation. By utilizing this sacred symbol for a scene promoting personal romantic entanglements, the film grossly misrepresents its inherent dignity and devalues the profound sacrifices made by countless officers in service of our nation,” the notice read.
“Moreover, it normalises inappropriate behaviour in uniform, setting a dangerous precedent that undermines the moral and ethical standards expected from those entrusted with safeguarding our borders. Kissing in uniform, on a runway which comes under the purview of a technical area, while portrayed as romantic, is considered grossly inappropriate and unbecoming of an IAF officer, as it contradicts the high standards of discipline and decorum expected from them,” it added.
Released on January 25, Fighter stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in the lead. The film revolves around the Indian Air Force giving a befitting reply to the terrorism in Pakistan. It also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Talat Aziz, Pradum Shukla, and Pradum Jaykar in pivotal roles. The film has earned over Rs 170 crore at the Indian box office as of now.
