- Siddharth has already worked with Hrithik Roshan on Bang Bang (2014) and War (2019).
Siddharth Anand is hard at work on his next movie, Fighter, which stars Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor and was a huge hit. The aerial action film’s director and lead actor Hrithik Roshan are currently in their fourth schedule. Siddharth praised the actor for his total dedication to the project and argued that Hrithik should soon direct his own film. Additionally, he stated that Hrithik is a secret filmmaker.
Siddharth has previously worked with Hrithik Roshan on Bang (2014) and War (2019). The director announced that he had completed 25% of the film, which stars Hrithik Roshan as Patty, a fighter pilot who aspires to become India’s best. In the movie, Talat Aziz, a singer, also plays Hrithik’s father.
Siddharth talked to Mid-Day about the actor, who he thought had a filmmaker inside of him. “Hrithik is a complete Hindi film hero,” he stated. He is a complex performer who not only adds nuance to his role but also motivates the actors in front of him, ensuring that everyone shines in the movie. In a movie, Hrithik does not look at himself alone. He is a secret filmmaker and is unaware of it. He needs to direct a movie soon, I keep telling him.
The director went on to say that Pathaan’s release, which brought audiences back to theaters, made him feel righteous. “[Before the movie’s release], some sections of the Hindi film industry and the public started believing in the Boycott Bollywood trend,” he mentioned. They stopped having faith in their own films. Pathaan, on the other hand, provided an answer to everything: “Make a film with the right intentions and people will come to the theater.”
Interestingly, Hrithik Roshan has worked with his father on four of Rakesh Roshan’s films, including Khudgarz (1987) and Karan Arjun (1995). Before making his directorial debut with Khudgarz, Rakesh also worked as an actor in the 1970s. Last year, Hrithik appeared in the Hindi remake of Vikram Vedha alongside Saif Ali Khan. The film was a remake of their 2017 Tamil film of the same name starring R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi, which Pushkar–Gayathri wrote and directed.
On March 22, Pathaan, which also features Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana, will premiere digitally on Prime Video.
