Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone to headline Siddharth Anand's Fighter

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone are working together for the first time in Siddharth Anand's upcoming action-adventure, Fighter. After a lot of buzz, the movie was announced on the occasion of Hrithik's birthday on Sunday.

"Presenting a glimpse of the MARFLIX vision as #Fighter! Looking forward to my first flight alongside the exceptional @deepikapadukone. All buckled up for this #SiddharthAnand joyride," his caption read.

In the post, Hrithik added,  "It is an honour for me as an actor to introduce & be a part of Mamta and Siddharth Anand's first production #Fighter for MARFLIX. This one is special as it deepens my association with a director and friend whose journey I have witnessed from being an AD on my sets, to directing me in Bang Bang and War. And now as he turns producer for FIGHTER, I can't seem to contain my excitement. This one is pure adrenaline for the heart and mind. So here goes! BOOM."

"Thank you Sid, for believing in me & making me your co-passenger yet again. Here's to your journey towards the sky," he added.

Fighter will go on floors later this year, and will be released on 30 September, 2022.

Meanwhile, it is speculated that Hrithik will be starring in the Hindi remake of Tamil blockbuster Vikram Vedha. Deepika, on the other hand, has an impressive lineup of films, including 83' and the untitled Shakun Batra film in various stages of production.
