In a recent interview with Asian Sunday & Style, composer Vishal Dadlani delved into the creative process behind the music of the upcoming film Fighter. Reflecting on the unique experience, he recalled the poignant moment when director Siddharth Anand passionately narrated the script to him and his musical partner Shekhar Ravjiani.
Unlike their usual routine of reading scripts, Siddharth chose to narrate this one, desiring to convey the emotional depth of the story. Vishal expressed the profound impact of Siddharth's storytelling, stating, "By the time we got to the interval, we had tears in our eyes. It's a truly incredible script." 
The overwhelming energy of the film prompted them to immediately commence work on the music right there in the room. Vishal disclosed that within a week or so, they had most of the tunes in place, emphasizing how the project's inherent energy guided their creative process. He remarked, "When a project has an energy that it just wants to go in a certain direction, wants to be a certain way, everything comes from that."

Vishal explained that firstly, there is the music encapsulating the camaraderie shared among the group of pilots in the academy, particularly during their training and airborne endeavors.
On the other hand, Vishal highlighted the second facet of the music, which is intricately connected to the film's narrative, greater in depth and meaning. These songs, he explained, delve deeper into themes of patriotism, heartbreak, loss, duty, and courage, mirroring the profound aspects of a fighter pilot's life.
Talking about the first song, Sher Khul Gaye, Vishal Dadlani described it by saying, “You saw a party track where a group of pilots has gone and has achieved something like a milestone and they're celebrating so they feel like the kings of the world and they say Sher Khul Gaye about themselves.”
As for the track Ishq Jaisa Kuch, Vishal explained that it delves into the initial stages of romance between Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone's characters.
