"An aerial action film offers a unique Cinematic experience. It's never been done in India. Being a 'Top Gun' fan, I have been looking for a script for years that explores aerial action and has a story rooted in India. Fighter is that answer. Siddharth understands this genre & brings a unique flair to his films. I am excited to collaborate with him in building this franchise," Ajit Andhare, COO at Viacom18 Studios, said in a statement.

Designed for a global audience, Fighter will be shot using latest technology and filming techniques. The makers said the shooting will take place at locations across the world. They added that film's story is truly Indian and salutes the valour, sacrifice and patriotism of our armed forces. Fighter will be released in 2022.
