In a triumphant return to the military genre, Hrithik Roshan, acclaimed for his unforgettable role in "Lakshya," soars back onto the screen as a Fighter Jet Pilot in Siddharth Anand's eagerly awaited film, "Fighter," marking his re-entry into defense-centric roles after a two-decade hiatus. The exhilarating trailer introduces Roshan as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania, affectionately known as 'Patty,' commanding the Air Dragons, a specialized unit within the Indian Air Force.
Patty's character delivers a compelling performance, seamlessly intertwining patriotism, action, and emotion. The trailer resonates with six impactful dialogues, echoing a steadfast sense of nationalism:
- "Duniya mein mil jayenge aashiq kayi... Par watan se haseen sanam nahi hota..."
- "Fighter woh nahi hai jo apna target achieve karta hai, Woh hai, jo unhe thok deta hai!"
- "Dhoke ka jawaab, badle se!"
- "POK ka matlab hai, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, tumne occupy kiya hai, Maalik hum hain!"
- "Yeh meri team hai Sir, aur unhein meri zaroorat hai."
- "Tujh jaise terrorist ki wajah se agar hum badtameezi pe utar aaye.. Toh tumhara har mohalla India Occupied Pakistan ban jayega!"
Hrithik Roshan's portrayal as Patty showcases his finesse in navigating fighter jets and engaging in heart-pounding action sequences, adorned in the distinguished uniform of the Indian Air Force. The trailer unfolds against the backdrop of the 2019 Pulwama attack, offering glimpses of the Indian Air Force's swift and impactful response.

The trailer has garnered widespread acclaim from netizens, applauding it as a compelling cinematic experience on the eve of India's 75th Republic Day. "Fighter" is set to hit theaters on January 25, 2024, marking Roshan's debut in 3D cinema, presented in the immersive 3D IMAX format.
