Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone Starrer Fighter To Premiere On TV This Independence Day; Deets Inside

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter is all set to premieres on Television on August 15. The film will be telecast on Star Gold at 8 PM. Directed by Siddharth Anand, who makes his debut as a producer with this film, ‘Fighter’ is set to enthrall television audiences with its themes of valour and patriotism.

Hrithik Roshan shares his thoughts on the World TV Premiere said, “Fighter is all set for its TV premiere on India’s Independence Day. In the true essence of the occasion, our film celebrates the spirit of a Fighter and the story is a patriotic ode to our great nation. With 15th August being a national holiday, I hope watching Fighter at home on Star Gold at 8pm makes for a fun time with friends and family”

Deepika who plays the leading actress of Fighter shares, “I remember hearing the story of Fighter and being completely moved by my character and her journey. I also had the privilege of spending time with some of our female Air Force officers and have learnt a great deal not just professionally but also personally. The film’s theatrical success is a testament to our passion, commitment and hard work and I’m thrilled that the entire nation gets to experience Fighter from the comfort of their homes with their families this Independence Day at 8 pm on Star Gold.”

The story revolves around a terror attack in Pulwama and follows the nation’s best combat aviators as they band together to avenge their fallen comrades.

Meanwhile, the film had a lukewarm run at the box office. In an interview with Galatta Plus, Siddharth Anand spoke about why the film may not have worked at the box office. He said, “Fighter is a huge leap. As filmmakers do this in the country, and the kind of genre it is. It’s a space that is unexplored, and is absolutely new. It has no reference point for the audience, that means what they are seeing is a little… accha… such big stars, a commercial director, accha ye planes kya kar rahi he [what are these planes doing?] I am like is this my film, I don’t know this.”

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.
