The makers of the upcoming aerial action flick “Fighter” unveiled a fierce first-look poster of actor Karan Singh Grover as Squadron Leader Sartaj Gill on Tuesday.
Grover steps into the shoes of the squadron pilot of the elite “Air Dragons” unit, with the call sign “Taj.” His intense avatar channels both grit and charisma befitting his character.
“Squadron Leader Sartaj Gill. Call Sign: Taj. Designation: Squadron Pilot. Unit: Air Dragons,” Grover tweeted while sharing his poster on social media.
His wife and actress Bipasha Basu cheered him on by posting his combat avatar on Instagram. Lead stars Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor also promoted their co-star’s reveal across platforms.
Earlier, the producers displayed the first looks of Roshan as squadron leader Shamsher Pathani, Padukone as squadron leader Minal Rathore, and Kapoor essaying group captain Rakesh Jai Singh.
Billed as an adrenaline-charged patriotic drama, “Fighter” is directed by Siddharth Anand of “War” fame and produced by Viacom18 Studios.
The high-budget film about an elite Air Force unit is slated for theatrical release on January 25, 2024. It promises gripping aerial action sequences and a stirring narrative, with Grover’s Squadron Leader Gill adding macho appeal.
The gradual unveiling of character looks builds intrigue for one of next year’s most awaited potential blockbusters. Backed by a pedigreed crew and stellar cast, “Fighter” seems set for box office glory.
