From Tezpur Air Force Station in Assam, to Kashmir and then Hyderabad, Siddharth Anand has taken his next, Fighter, across the country. His latest stop — Mumbai. The director kicked off the fourth schedule of the Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor-starrer in a Chembur bungalow on March 19. We hear the leading man will film some emotional scenes with Talat Aziz, who plays his on-screen father, over the next two days, following which the unit will shift to Goregaon. “I have already completed 25 per cent of the film,” begins Anand, who has earmarked a month-long schedule in April to can the action sequences. “We can release the film on January 25 next year. It has a lot of VFX, but that is going on simultaneously.”
The aerial action thriller traces Roshan’s character Patty as he strives to become the country’s best fighter pilot. Anand has a knack for mounting actioners on a big canvas as seen in his past three offerings, Bang Bang (2014), War (2019) and Pathaan. He promises his next, which marks his maiden production, won’t be an exception. “[I want the] audience to see something bigger and better when they come to watch a Siddharth Anand film. All my action sequences must have an X-factor to them,” asserts the director.
