New Delhi: Deepika Padukone, who had been absent from all previous Fighter promotional events, turned heads on Tuesday at an event for the movie alongside co-stars Hrithik Roshan, Anil Kapoor, and director Siddharth Anand. At the event, Deepika Padukone was spotted looking stunning in jeans and a casual white sweatshirt. She also posed for multiple pictures with her co-stars, Hrithik and Anil. For the unversed, Deepika Padukone plays Squadron Leader Minal Rathore in the film. Fighter marks her first film with Hrithik Roshan and third film after Pathaan and Bachna Ae Haseeno with director Siddharth Anand.
Director Siddharth of Fighter had previously discussed Deepika's nonattendance at the movie's promotional events. Siddharth Anand stated to Bollywood Hungama, "We have adopted this as a promotional strategy." Deepika will appear everywhere starting tomorrow. Many assumptions are made about things. Deepika was supposed to come for the trailer launch, but she was under the weather. And now she is going to be everywhere; our strategy is such.”
He went on, "One of the main highlights is Deepika and Hrithik's pair." And to see both of them (together) excites me much as a filmmaker. Thus, it is possible that even the audience is anticipating (her). As the release date approaches, you'll start to see them. Also, we didn't want too much of Hrithik and Deepika before the release. We wanted people to enjoy them on the big screen. We didn't want that saturation.”
