In a first, Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone are uniting for the first time for an action-adventure, Fighter, which will be helmed by Siddharth Anand, reported Hindustan Times. After a lot of buzz, the film was announced on the occasion of Hrithik’s birthday on Sunday.
 
Hrithik took to his social media and introduced Fighter with a motion poster. The film is slated to release in 2022. “Presenting a glimpse of the MARFLIX vision as Fighter! Looking forward to my first flight alongside the exceptional Deepika Padukone. All buckled up for this Siddharth Anand joyride,” his caption read.

Sharing his excitement about the same, Hrithik further wrote in his post: “It is an honour for me as an actor to introduce and be a part of Mamta and Sid Anand’s first production, Fighter! 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 and making me your co-passenger yet again. Here’s to your journey towards the sky,” he added.

Deepika, too, took to her social media to share the poster, writing, “Dreams really do come true.”

Talking about the film, Anand said, “This is definitely one of the most exciting moments of my life to bring together two of my favourite stars, Hrithik and Deepika, for the first time to the Indian and global audience. I am thrilled to begin the journey of MARFLIX, a production house dedicated to action film making in India.”

“I start this journey of Marflix along with my life partner Mamta Anand. Starting MARFLIX with Hrithik is special as he is someone who has seen me even working as an AD, then as a director on two films and now I am not just his director but I’m also starting my production house with him,” Anand added.
