Hrithik and Deepika share official motion poster of ‘Fighter’

Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone on Tuesday unveiled the official motion poster of their upcoming film Fighter on the occasion of the 77th Independence Day.

Touted as India’s first aerial action magnum opus, the film is directed by Siddharth Anand. It is scheduled to be released in theatres on January 25, 2024.


The motion poster, which Roshan and Padukone as well as veteran star Anil Kapoor shared on social media, provides a first glimpse at the three actors, who are playing Indian Air Force (IAF) officers in the movie.

“#SpiritOfFighter | Vande Mataram! See you in the theatres on the eve of India’s 75th Republic Day. Fighter releases worldwide on 25th January 2024," Roshan posted on Instagram.

Deepika said, "A salute to our glorious nation. Happy Independence Day."

Fighter, backed by Viacom18 Studios and Marflix Pictures, is described as a homage to the valour, sacrifice, and patriotism of the Indian armed forces.

The film reunites Roshan with Anand after the two collaborated on hits Bang Bang! and War.

It also marks Deepika and Anand's second collaboration after Pathaan, the Shah Rukh Khan-led blockbuster which released earlier this year.

  • UK viewers can access some titles now, though licensing varies.
  • Regional stories and folklore films are expanding the genre.
  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
