Director Siddharth Anand Reveals Reason Behind Deepika Padukone’s Absence For Fighter Promotions

Director Siddharth Anand called Deepika Padukone's absence their strategy and revealed the reason behind her absence.

Audiences will experience the never-seen chemistry of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone through the upcoming movie “Fighter”. Fighter will have its theatrical release on January 25. The team is busy with promotions but in fact, there is no need for many promotional events as Deepika and Hrithik together onscreen is itself a USP of the film. Only 3 days are remaining but Deepika Padukone hasn’t been seen for promotions and a rumor says that Deepika and the director of the film, Siddharth Anand, have some clashes between them. But the director reveals the real reason behind Deepika not attending promotions. 

In a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Siddharth Anand spilled the beans over Deepika’s absence from the film’s promotions. He said that people predict too many things, but that was their strategy. Deepika wasn’t there for the trailer launch, too, because she had some minor health inconvenience. He revealed that Deepika would make her public appearance from Tuesday. 

The director continued saying, “Obviously, we can’t do without Deepika… Deepika and Hrithik’s pair is one of the major highlights. And it’s a huge excitement for me as a filmmaker to see both of them (together). So, I can imagine that even the audience is waiting for (her). You will start seeing them closer to the release. Also, we didn’t want too much of Hrithik and Deepika before the release. We wanted people to enjoy them on the big screen. We didn’t want that saturation.” Siddharth Anand is successful in creating the hype for the actress in public. Also, Fighter’s trailer has stretched the curiosity of fans and everyone is eager to see this most awaiting collaboration of Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan. Now people are definitely going to visit theaters to experience the vastness of the movie. 

Talking about the success, there is no such rival to the movie. Also, Fighter is a 3rd movie of Deepika with Siddharth Anand, after “Bachna Ae Haseeno” and “Pathaan”. Looking back at the success of Pathaan, Fighter may create some unset records.
