As of now, Deepika is shooting for another Siddharth Anand directorial ‘Pathan’ which features Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. The movie marks Deepika’s fourth collaboration with SRK after Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Happy New Year. Pathan will also star John Abraham as the lead antagonist who will be seen locking horns with King Khan for the first time on the big screen.

The film is said to be India’s first aerial action franchise and moviegoers are eagerly waiting for it. As reported earlier, Fighter was supposed to start rolling in June this year.

Now there is a new release date as Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter will hit theatres on September 28, 2023. The makers of the Siddharth Anand directorial announced the new release date on Thursday with a clip.

The text of the video reads, “India’s first aerial action film finds a new runway”. Touted to be an actioner, Fighter also stars Anil Kapoor.

In December last year, Hrithik welcomed Anil onboard Fighter on the occasion of the latter’s 65th birthday. Sharing a click with Anil and Siddharth, Hrithik wrote on social media, “Happiest Birthday to the man who grows younger each year in spirit and health, @anilskapoor! Best wishes to you Sir. From witnessing your legendary presence on sets as a mere assistant, to finally having the opportunity of sharing the screen with you.. Super excited for #Fighter.”
