Mark your calendars as the release date for superstars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone-starrer ‘Fighter’ is out. The film is set to release on Republic Day 2023.

Indian film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed the news on his Instagram handle.

“HRITHIK - DEEPIKA’S ‘FIGHTER’ TO RELEASE ON REPUBLIC DAY 2023... #Fighter - starring #HrithikRoshan and #DeepikaPadukone - to release on 26 Jan 2023... Directed by #SiddharthAnand...

‘Fighter’ is being touted as India’s first aerial action franchise.

Speaking about the upcoming project, Andhare said, “An aerial action film offers a unique cinematic experience. It’s never been done in India. Being a ‘Top Gun’ fan, I have been looking for a script for years that explores aerial action and has a story rooted in India. ‘Fighter’ is that answer. Siddharth understands this genre and brings a unique flair to his films. I am excited to collaborate with him in building this franchise.”
