Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, along with Anil Kapoor, made their way to the national capital on Wednesday for a special screening of their film ‘Fighter‘. The exclusive movie premiere was organized for Indian Air Force (IAF) officers at a theatre in Chanakyapuri.
Twinning and winning in shades of black, the stylish co-stars hit the red carpet and left the audience star-struck as they posed for the paparazzi.

After a photo call on the red carpet, the stars moved into the theatre for the special screening. Going by the viral posts, Hrithik took over the microphone to address the men in uniform.

The screening reportedly had IAF officers, including Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari, PVSM AVSM VM ADC in attendance. After the film, it was reported that the film received a standing ovation for its ‘realistic and relatable’ portrayal.

Ahead of the release, director Siddharth Anand shared his sentiments about his latest venture. He said, “‘Fighter’ is a film that is ambitious in more ways than one. It’s more than just a film for us. And we have given it all to this one. 2024 starts with the same feeling again of nervousness and anxiety. Here’s hoping that you guys give the same love to FIGHTER that you showered on PATHAAN.”

Following the premiere in Delhi, the star cast flew back to Mumbai in time for a star-studded special screening that was held at YRF studios. Shah Rukh Khan, who played the lead in Siddharth Anand’s 2023 blockbuster ‘Pathaan’ also attended the screening.
‘Fighter’ that hits theatres today, also features Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi in key roles.
