Akshay Oberoi opens up about being a part of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Fighter’; says it’s an honour to play an air force fighter

Siddharth Anand’s upcoming film, ‘Fighter’, starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of the year.

Actor Akshay Oberoi, who is also a part of the film, recently opened up about how it is an honour to play the role of an air force fighter in the film. Akshay said, “It's an honour to be playing the part of someone who has served the nation. My character is a tribute to all those real life heroes who have fought for their country. As actors, we might imitate their actions, but the grit and courage that they would have shown in real life situations are unfathomable. All thanks to the director Siddharth and Mamta Anand for picking me for the part."

Recently, Akshay shared a photo of himself along with director Siddharth Anand and co-star Karan Singh Grover on Instagram to announce his association with the film.

‘Fighter’, which sees Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone as Indian Air Force pilots, is slated for release on January 25, 2024. The film is said to be shot across the world and will pay tribute to the sacrifice of the country’s armed forces.
