Siddharth Anand reacts to IAF officer
Siddharth Anand's recent aerial action film, 'Fighter,' featuring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, has performed reasonably well at the box office, aiming to surpass the 200 crore mark in India. However, the movie has faced criticism for its portrayal of the Indian Air Force (IAF). An IAF officer raised objections to a particular intimate scene, deeming it disrespectful. In response to the allegations, the film's director has stated that they shot 'Fighter' in "complete conjunction with the IAF."

Talking to ETimes, Siddharth Anand said, "IAF has been a co-collaborator on the film and has been a huge associate partner on our film. This film has gone through meticulous procedures with the IAF, right from the submission of the script, to the production planning, viewing the film before the censor saw it on the censor board, watching it again at the IAF, reviewing the film after the censor, and then giving us a physical copy of the NOC No Objection Certificate. After that, we got the certificate. We got the censor certificate. Then, we showed the entire film to everyone in the Air Force, including the Air Force Chief, Mr. Chaudhary, and over 100 Air Marshals from across the country. We called them and hosted a screening for them one day before the film's release in Delhi, and they gave us a standing ovation."
Siddharth Anand additionally verified that the individual who raised objections against the film, claiming to be an IAF officer, does not actually exist within the Indian Air Force. "We have checked with the concerned team, and they have informed us that no such person exists under the IAF. So we have no idea who is doing this. We are in a business where there will be social commentary. So, we are totally used to it," he further clarrified.
