“We have given it all. It is not an easy film. I’ve made a decent amount of action films but this has been another journey altogether. Everyone has helped us, it’s a team effort, this is not a one-man show. Everybody has contributed towards the film. My team is still at the studios giving touches. I want to thank everyone in my team and everyone here. Keep showering the love,” he said.

Hrithik, who has worked with Siddharth in Bang Bang and War, said he in gratitude for getting the opportunity to work with “crazy, mad, insane, passionate human beings” in Fighter.

“For the opportunity to be working with someone as crazy and as passionate as Sid Anand is, somebody as courageous, passionate, and insane as Anil sir… I feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by human beings, who have given everything of themselves for the sake of great cinema. To have the humility and courage to give everything in them for cinema is something that I value the highest.”

Actor Anil Kapoor, who is coming off the big blockbuster Animal, called Fighter a “phenomenal journey.” “This film has taught me discipline, selfless work, and today is Army Day, it is a great day to launch the trailer.”

Deepika Padukone, who also stars in Fighter, wasn’t present at the trailer launch. The film is gearing up for a January 25 release, the same date as Siddharth Anand’s last film Pathaan opened.
