Actress Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan are all set to share screen space for the first time in their careers in Siddharth Anand’s upcoming spy thriller ‘Fighter’. In a recent interview, the actress was recently asked about her thoughts on collaborating with the ‘War’ actor, and joked, “I mean, have you seen us?”
Deepika said, “Yeah, I have always wanted to work with him. I feel like it’s the… You know, sometimes it’s not about working with someone. I feel like there are so many things. It has to be the right script, it has to be the right director, the right time in your life. So many things that decide (whether to do a movie or not). So yeah, I guess it’s the right time for us to come together.”
Both the actors have previously individually collaborated with Siddharth Anand. Deepika has worked with him in ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’, and Hrithik has worked with him in two movies, ‘Bang Bang’ and ‘War’.
Meanwhile, ‘Fighter’ will be shot using the latest technology and filming techniques according to its makers. It is slated to hit the theatres in 2022 and will be bankrolled by Viacom18 Studios, Mamta Anand, Ramon Chill and Anku Panda.
On the work front, Deepika has a slew of movies in the pipeline, including ‘Gehraiyaan’, ‘Pathan’, an upcoming with Nag Ashwin and a Hindi adaptation of ‘The Intern’.
