Deepika, who had a good 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan, also shared the poster of Fighter introducing her character of Squadron Leader Minal Rathore. She captioned the post, “Squadron Leader Minal Rathore Call Sign: Minni Designation: Squadron Pilot Unit: Air Dragons #FighterOn25thJan #Fighter.” In the poster, the actor is seen looking straight into the camera, hinting at the strong personality of her character.

OH MY GOD 🔥.” A comment also read, “To rule the air🔥🔥.” Many Deepika fans left fire and heart emojis in the comments section.

As per the official statement from the makers, Deepika’s character of Squadron Leader Minal Rathore embodies “fortitude, determination, and the unwavering spirit of Fighter.”
This is the first time that Deepika will be sharing the screen with Hrithik in a film. In an earlier interview, Deepika was asked about her thoughts on collaborating with Hrithik and she joked, “I mean, have you seen us?”
She told Bollywood Hungama, “Yeah, I have always wanted to work with him. I feel like it’s the… You know, sometimes it’s not about working with someone. I feel like there are so many things. It has to be the right script, it has to be the right director, the right time in your life. So many things that decide (whether to do a movie or not). So yeah, I guess it’s the right time for us to come together.”
Helmed by Siddharth Anand, who delivered a hit with Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, the film also stars Anil Kapoor in the role of an Air Force officer.
Talking about the film, Anand, who is also making his debut as a producer under his production company Marflix, earlier shared, “Fighter is a dream project, and I am glad to have someone with Ajit Andhare (COO, Viacom18 Studios) vision to be partnering this with me. With this film, we aim to put Indian films on the map for action-loving global theatrical audiences who crave spectacle and the big screen experience.”
