A poster introducing Deepika Padukone’s character from the aerial-actioner Fighter was unveiled by the makers on Tuesday. This comes a day after Hrithik Roshan’s character Shamsher Pathania was revealed by the film’s team.

The new character poster shows Deepika donning aviators and wearing the green gear of an air force pilot. She is playing Squadron Leader Minal Rathore, known by her call sign 'Minni'. Just like Hrithik’s Shamsher, she is also part of the Air Dragons Unit.

Sharing the poster on social media, Deepika wrote, "Squadron Leader Minal Rathore

Call Sign: Minni Designation: Squadron Pilot Unit: Air Dragons.”

Directed by Siddharth Anand, Fighter also stars Anil Kapoor. The film is backed by Ajit Andhare (Viacom18 Studios), Mamta Anand, Ramon Chibb, and Anku Pande. During a previous conversation about the film, Siddharth expressed that Fighter is one of his dream projects.

The film is set to hit the theatres on January 25, 2024.
