Speaking about it, Akshay said, "I have been working out extensively before and during the filming of the movie. The idea was to build up muscles with intense training which I personally trained myself for. The role required me to have m broader body frame to look right for the role of an Air Force pilot. I'm playing the role of an air force officer and his physical appearance has to compliment the character and hence I took it upon myself to undergo this transformation as it was necessary. I went through rigorous training for months ahead.

" Helmed by Siddharth Anand, 'Fighter' also Karan Singh Grover. The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on June 25, 2024. On Monday, Hrithik shared the first glimpse from his upcoming aerial action thriller film 'Fighter'.Taking to Instagram, Hrithik shared the picture which he captioned, "#Fighter #25Jan2024 #7MonthsToFighter."
