While Siddharth Anand’s aerial action drama, Fighter, continues to be the most anticipated film of 2024, it is interesting to note that the film brings back the dynamic duo Siddharth Anand and Hrithik Roshan together in a film for the third time. A great director-actor partnership is a secret ingredient to a brilliant cinema experience. Anand and Roshan’s working relationship has given us blockbuster hits Bang Bang (2014) and War (2019) in the past, and with Fighter, they are taking things a notch higher with Squadron Leader Shamsher ‘Patty’ Pathania.
So what is it that makes this dynamic duo work well together and create magic on the big screen every time they come together? War, released in 2019 starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, went on to rake in over 475 Crores in the box office while Bang Bang, starring Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif raked in over 330 Crores. What’s common between them is that both were directed by Siddharth Anand. With Fighter, trade analysts as well as netizens are expecting a hattrick!
Siddharth Anand might already have bigger plans for his characters in Fighter which will go beyond the film. We can only dream about what their future collaboration might look like. Fighter is all set for theatrical release on January 25, 2024.
