Air Force Sends Legal Notice to ‘Fighter’ Makers Over Hrithik-Deepika Kissing Scene

A legal notice has been issued against the makers of the latest Bollywood movie ‘Fighter,’ starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. The notice, filed by an Air Force officer from Assam named Saumya Deep Das, was against a kissing scene between Hrithik and Deepika while wearing Indian Air Force uniform. He said the scene was an insult to IAF and demanded appropriate action be taken against the filmmakers.

The story of ‘Fighter’ revolves around the lives of two skilled fighter pilots, played by Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, stationed in Jammu and Kashmir. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a terrorist attack, showcasing the challenges and emotions faced by the actors. As the plot progresses, a romantic relationship develops between the two and they can be seen locking lips in the Air Force Uniform in one of the scenes.

Directed by Siddharth Anand and co-written by Ramon Chibb, the film also features veteran actor Anil Kapoor in an important role. It has elements of real-life events such as the 2019 Pulwama attack, the Balakot airstrike, and the India-Pakistan border clashes into its fictional narrative, adding layers of intensity and relevance to the storyline.

Produced by Viacom18 Studios and Marflix Pictures, ‘Fighter’ has been making waves at the box office since its release twelve days ago. With a current worldwide collection surpassing Rs 350 crore, the film has collected significant attention and acclaim from audiences and critics alike.

The filmmakers and representatives of the movie are yet to issue an official statement in response to the legal notice by the Air Force officer.
