About The Movie
‘Fighter,’ an action thriller centered around an Indian Air Force squad on a mission, is set to exclude Gulf countries from its release, with the exception of the United Arab Emirates. This decision stems from the absence of approval from the Gulf Cooperation Council Censors. The film, delving into themes involving Pakistan, Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, the Pulwama terror attack, and India’s response at Balakot, stars Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles. The movie hit theaters on January 25.
