There is a scene in the film, in which hrithik roshan and deepika padukone are kissing each other in uniform. After seeing this scene, IAF's Wing commander Soumyadeep Das, posted in Assam, objected to this scene and sent a legal notice to its director. Now director siddharth anand has spoken openly on this.
Siddharth anand said, “This film completely resonates with the IAF. IAF has been a co-collaborator in the film and has been a great collaborative partner in our film. The film has gone through meticulous processes with the IAF. From presenting the script to production planning. The film was seen before the film was approved by the Censor Board. This was seen again in the IAF. The film has also been reviewed after censoring. We got the NOC No Objection Certificate. After this, we got the censor certificate.
Siddharth further said, "We showed the entire film to everyone in the air Force, including air Force Chief Shri Choudhary and over 100 air Marshals from across the country. We called them and had a screening for them a day before the release of the film in Delhi. Hosted the screening and he even gave us a standing ovation."
Talking about the film, 'Fighter' is currently running in theatres. Apart from Hrithik and Deepika, the film also stars Anil Kapoor, karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, and Sanjeeda Sheikh.
