Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone-starrer Fighter is more than six months away from release, but it is already making headlines for involving Indian Air Force (IAF) cadets not only in its cast, but also behind the scenes to lend authenticity to the film. In fact, Hrithik recently shot with the Air Force personnel from Delhi against the backdrop of War Memorial, IAF base, at Chandivali Studios Compound, Mumbai, where the movie’s team filmed emotional scenes for over three days. The star also clicked pictures with the officers wearing their ceremonial IAF uniform, which they will be seen donning in the film too. In addition to the cadets flown in from Delhi’s IAF headquarters, real-life cadets from Dundigal Air Force Academy near Hyderabad were also present for the shoot. Director Siddharth Anand, who is also producing the film, has made sure he has the guidance of real-life officers all along. Army veteran Ramon Chibb holds the position of executive producer, while also being a co-writer for Fighter. Moreover, IAF consultant and ex-Army officer Varlin Panwar is also brought on board as a consultant. The aerial action thriller is touted as a tribute to the IAF.
