Promoted as India's pioneering aerial action film, Fighter is noteworthy for bringing together Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone for the first time, showcasing their sizzling on-screen chemistry.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Siddharth Anand shed light on Deepika Padukone's absence from the promotional events of Fighter and the ensuing discussions on social media. Anand revealed that it's a strategic move they've employed for promotion. According to him, fans can anticipate Deepika's ubiquitous presence starting tomorrow as part of their promotional strategy.
Anand acknowledged the tendency of people to speculate and clarified that Deepika was initially meant to attend the trailer launch but had fallen ill. He emphasized the indispensability of Deepika to the film's promotion, stating, "Certainly, we can't do without Deepika."
The filmmaker underscored the significance of the Hrithik-Deepika pairing, considering it a major highlight of the film. Expressing his excitement as a filmmaker, he acknowledged the audience's eagerness to see the two actors together. "Deepika and Hrithik's pair is one of the major highlights. And it's a huge excitement for me as a filmmaker to see both of them together. So, I can imagine that even the audience is waiting for her," said the director.
