Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter is going to release on 25 January and promotions for the movie are going on in full swing. However, some eyebrows were raised when actress Deepika Padukone didn’t attend the trailer launch event as it gave an impression that something is not right among the team of Fighter.
The director of the movie, Siddharth Anand has now reacted to this matter and he revealed that Deepika’s absence from the event was a part of their strategy. During an interview with an entertainment portal, he said, “This is a promotional strategy that we have taken. You will start seeing Deepika Padukone from tomorrow (Tuesday) everywhere. People put a lot of conjectures into 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.”
Siddharth Anand added, “Obviously, we can’t do without Deepika… 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). You will start seeing them closer to the release. 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.”
Fighter also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Grover, Sanjeeda Sheikh, etc. in important roles.
