Bollywood: Director Siddharth Anand shares his vision for Indian action entertainers
The ‘Pathaan’ director thinks India can make films as big as in Hollywood
Bollywood director Siddharth Anand, who has delivered two hits back to back with ‘War’ and ‘Pathaan’, feels India can make action entertainers as big as in Hollywood.
The director, who has now become a producer with his production house Marflix, said: “My aspiration with Marflix is to build it as a production house that produces content which is at par with Hollywood. That’s my intent with ‘Fighter’ and I’m excited about this.”
‘Fighter’ is an upcoming action movie being directed by Anand and will feature Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor in lead roles.
“I’m a proud Indian and I think we can make action entertainers that are as big as our Hollywood counterparts,” he said. “I have always believed that sky is the limit for our industry and we are at the threshold to achieve global greatness consistently.”
Anand is aspiring to give India its first aerial action film starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone with ‘Fighter’.
