Directed by Siddharth Anand, Fighter marks the first collaboration between Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan. This film is Deepika's third project with Siddharth Anand, following Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008) and the 2023 blockbuster Pathaan with Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. Hrithik and Siddharth had previously teamed up for films like Bang Bang (2014) with Katrina Kaif and the 2019 action-packed War alongside Tiger Shroff.

Apart from Deepika and Hrithik, Fighter also features Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi. Produced by Viacom18 Studios in collaboration with Marflix Pictures, the film is slated for release on Republic Day Eve. Fighter is touted as a tribute to the sacrifice and patriotism of the Indian armed forces, narrating the story of a new elite unit, Air Dragons, commissioned in response to militant activities in the Srinagar Valley.
