Save the new date

About seven months since September 28, 2023, was announced as the release date of Fighter, the Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer has a new date with cinemas. Yesterday, the studio behind Siddharth Anand’s directorial venture shared that the film will now open in theatres on January 25, 2024. What makes the new date significant is that it marks India’s 75th year as a democratic Republic and Hrithik plays an IAF (Indian Air Force) pilot in the aerial action thriller. Incidentally, that’s one entire year after the movie’s original release date, January 25, 2023, which was vacated for Siddharth’s upcoming offering, Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan. Filming for Fighter is slated to start mid-November and since September 28 is too close a call, the makers opted for the 75th Republic Day as its new release date. The film also sees the two actors reunite with the filmmaker for the second time. While Hrithik previously worked with Siddharth on Bang Bang (2014) and War (2019), Deepika teamed up with the director for Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008).
