Fighter is the maiden film to be produced by Siddharth Anand’s production company Marflix. Sharing his excitement about the same, Siddharth said in a statement, “This is definitely one of the most exciting moments of my life to bring together two of my favourite stars, Hrithik and Deepika, for the first time to the Indian and global audience. I am thrilled to begin the journey of Marflix, a production house dedicated to action film making in India. I start this journey of Marflix along with my life partner Mamta Anand. Starting Marflix with Hrithik is special as he is someone who has seen me even working as an AD, then as a director on two films and now I am not just his director, but I am also starting my production house with him.”
He added, “Our vision for Marflix is to create the action film production house of India. If you think of action films in India, you should think Marflix. That’s our endeavour and we will work hard to get there. Still early days, but the journey has begun.”
Both Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan have previously collaborated with Siddharth Anand. While Hrithik has worked with him on two movies (Bang Bang and War), Anand had directed Deepika in the romedy Bachan Ae Haseeno.
