Hrithik Roshan shares how Siddharth Anand tried to make a different film with Fighter

Recently, during an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Hrithik Roshan was asked how he would compare his character in Lakshya and Fighter, to this the actor responded by mentioning how Siddharth Anand tried to do something different with Fighter and said that both characters follow rules. He chose this one initially because he often wanted to develop Patty’s storyline (the character’s name in Fighter) into something bigger, someone who defies the rules. In his view, the larger-than-life roles he has portrayed, particularly the typical Hindi mass hero, always break the rules and carve their own path.

He added, “But, I understood that Sid (Siddharth Anand) is actually trying to do something that has not been, he’s not doing what he is used to doing, he is trying something new, he’s trying a different tonality. He’s trying to use his actors as these colors in the painting and the landscape that he wants to make. So, on one hand though it’s not the emotional Arc of a larger than life hero, it is a beautiful landscape with these characters that he delves into one by one through the journey of the film.”

He then mentioned that sometimes, films like these feel very rejuvenating, like the way he experienced with Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, where all the actors were like different colors in a painting. So, this new movie is another commercial, even more commercial, version of that same essence.
