Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter has been getting an overwhelming response from the audience. The aerial action thriller, released on January 25, is ruling at the box office. However, Fighter was embroiled in a controversy when an IAF officer expressed his displeasure over certain depiction of the forces in the film. Now, the director of the film Siddharth Anand has come forward to address the same.
Speaking with ETimes, Siddharth Anand shared, “IAF has been a co-collaborator on the film and has been a huge associate partner on our film. This film has gone through meticulous procedures with the IAF, right from the submission of the script, to the production planning, viewing the film before the censor saw it on the censor board, watching it again at the IAF, reviewing the film after the censor, and then giving us a physical copy of the NOC No Objection Certificate.”
He added, “After that, we got the certificate. We got the censor certificate. Then, we showed the entire film to everyone in the Air Force, including the Air Force Chief, Mr. Chaudhary, and over 100 Air Marshals from across the country. We called them and hosted a screening for them one day before the film’s release in Delhi, and they gave us a standing ovation.”
Fighter is enjoying a phenomenal run at the box office and has crossed the collection of 317 Cr. gross at the worldwide box office and is all geared up for a great 3rd-weekend boost. Directed by Siddharth Anand and presented by Viacom18 Studios in association with Marflix Pictures, ‘Fighter’ epitomizes cinematic brilliance. This film seamlessly intertwines heart-thumping action and patriotic fervor, promising an unparalleled cinematic experience. Fighter is now running in the theaters.
Apart from Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor, Fighter also features Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, Rishabh Sawhney, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Ashutosh Rana, Talat Aziz and Sharib Hashmi.
