Last month, Hrithik Roshan kicked off the shoot of Fighter at the Tezpur Air Force Station in Assam, after which director Siddharth Anand called time on the project. Reason — the director wants to dedicate the next few weeks to his January release, Pathaan. So, what happens on the Fighter front in the interim? We hear the makers are setting the stage for the second schedule that will kick off in February. In keeping with Anand’s ambitious vision for the aerial action thriller — that also stars Anil Kapoor and Deepika Padukone — the team is planning to shoot the next leg at the Indian Air Force Academy at Dundigal, which is situated 43 kilometres from Hyderabad.
