‘Ishq Jaisa Kuch’, the second song from Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter, was released on Friday. Directed by Siddharth Anand (War, Pathaan), the film also features Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi. The groovy dance number has been crooned by Vishal & Sheykhar with Shilpa Rao and the rap section has been sung by Mellow D. The lyrics have been penned by Kumaar and the song has been composed by Vishal & Sheykhar.
The music video shows the sizzling chemistry between Hrithik and Deepika. In tandem with the visual aesthetics of Besharam Rang (from Pathaan) and Ghungroo (from War), the song has been shot at a beachside location. The two leads can be seen swaying slowly to the beats of the song in brightly coloured outfits.
Previously the party number ‘Sher Khul Gaye’, the teaser, and the character posters from the film have been unveiled by the makers. The music video of ‘Sher Khul Gaye’ featured the entire cast of the film.
The character posters of Fighter introduced us to Hrithik’s Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania aka ‘Patty’, Deepika’s Squadron Leader Minal Rathore aka ‘Minni’, Anil Kapoor’s Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh aka ‘Rocky,’ Karan Singh Grover’s Squadron leader Sartaj 'Taj' Gill and Akshay Oberoi’s Squadron leader Basheer Khan aka 'Bash'.
The teaser of the film was released earlier this month. It starts with the lines, "To find us? You must be good. To catch us? You must be fast. To beat us? You must be Joking!" And as these lines end on the screen, the engine of the fighter plane revs up to show us a stylish Patty (Hrithik Roshan), and a charming Minnu (Deepika Padukone), piloting their fighter jets with suave. With elements of drama, romance and patriotism, and a novel version of Vande Mataram, the Fighter teaser promises us that "Republic Day will never be the same again."
Directed by Siddharth Anand, Fighter is backed by Ajit Andhare (Viacom18 Studios), Mamta Anand, Ramon Chibb, and Anku Pande. It will hit the theatres on January 25, 2024.
