Siddharth Anand called Fighter a team effort

Siddharth said Fighter is nothing like his earlier action films. He said, "Come on January 25 to cheer and love the film. We have given it our all. It is not an easy film. I've made a decent amount of action films but this has been another journey altogether. Everyone has helped us, it's a team effort, this is not a one-man show. Everybody has contributed towards the film. My team is still at the studios giving (final) touches. I want to thank everyone in my team and everyone here."

Anil Kapoor talked about his takeaways from the film

Anil Kapoor, who plays the Commanding Officer Rocky in the film, said it has taught him discipline. “It has been a phenomenal journey and I hope this journey continues even after the release. This film has taught me discipline, selfless work. Today is Army Day, it is a great day to launch the trailer. I'm overwhelmed with the reaction and it is a pleasure working with Hrithik, Sid, and all of them,” he said.

Hrithik hails Fighter makers

Fighter is said to have been made on a budget of ₹250 crore and reportedly has much heavier action scenes than Siddharth Anand's Pathaan. Thanking the producers, Hrithik said, "(Thank you to) Ajit and Viacom to be as crazy and insane to back and empower preposterous and ridiculous visions such as Fighter. I'm just incredibly blessed to be surrounded by human beings who have given everything of themselves for the sake of great cinema. To have this humility and the courage to give everything (to the film)."
