Fighter: Siddharth Anand REACTS As Pakistani Actress Accuse Hrithik Roshan Film of 'Spreading Hate'

Fighter director Siddharth Anand has finally reacted to Pakistani actors accusing his upcoming movie of spreading hate. The trailer of the film, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in the lead, was released recently following which Hania Aamir, Adnan Siddiqui and other Pakistani celebrities criticised it.

Recently, Siddharth Anand reacted with a thinking face emoji to a post on X which questioned Hania Aamir for slamming Fighter. “Didn’t she literally work in a movie which was anti-India? If Indian celebs have no issue with the anti-India stuff Pakistani celebs do in movies, why do Pak celebs care so much?” the post read.

Besides this, Siddharth Anand also wrote, “Oh!!” while reacting to another post about the 2018 Pakistani film Parwaaz Hai Junoon. “Parwaaz Hai Junoon was an anti-Indian Air Force movie and Hania Aamir starred in it,” the original post read.

For the unversed, the trailer of Fighter was released on January 15. It presented Hrithik and Deepika as Squadron Leaders Patty and Minni. The two fly helicopters and fighter jets as they teach a lesson to the terrorists and Pakistan.

Following the trailer release, Pakistani actress Hania Aamir took to her Instagram stories and wrote, “So sad and unfortunate to know that there are artists out there in this day and age who are aware of the power that the cinema holds and still go ahead and feed the riff between the two countries. I feel sorry for the artists who try to bridge the gap by trusting their art as a medium. Distasteful; let art breathe.”

Later, Pakistani actor Zara Noor Abbas also wrote, “Aren’t you guys tired of selling the same false crap?! Grow up, guys! The world is moving on and getting mature but why do you want to sell this cheap story of hatred? Could have also promoted peace. Don’t we have enough hatred in the world that you had to boost more hate through this global medium of movies?”

Fighter will hit theatres on January 25, 2024.
