Hrithik Roshan’s praise for ‘Fighter’ co-star Sanjeeda Sheikh continues to resonate, as he hails her as a “brilliant actor.” The film, also featuring Deepika Padukone, is not only garnering positive responses from the audience but is also performing well at the box office. Sanjeeda Sheikh, who portrays Saanchi Gill, has already earned acclaim from the ‘War’ actor.
Responding to a social media user on X, Hrithik expressed his admiration for Sanjeeda, stating, “I absolutely agree with you Sandeep. @iamsanjeeda is a brilliant actor! She made emoting in the scene so easy for me.”
This endorsement follows a fan’s earlier tweet praising Sanjeeda: “Dear @iamsanjeeda. This is an appreciation tweet for you. You looked flawless in the movie #Fighter. Your emotional scene with @iHrithik is one of the best scenes in the movie. It was beautifully executed. #FighterBlockbuster #FighterMovie.”
Grateful for the acknowledgment from the acclaimed actor, Sheikh responded, “Thank you for bringing out the best in me… Most honest and giving actor @iHrithik.”
Directed by Siddharth Anand, ‘Fighter’ also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi. The film features Hrithik as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania aka Patty, Deepika as Squadron Leader Minal Rathore aka Minni, and Anil as Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh aka Rocky, all fighting for the country.

This film marks the first-ever on-screen collaboration between Hrithik and Deepika. Siddharth, reflecting on the project, said, “Mamta (Siddharth’s wife) and I started our film company MARFLIX with #FIGHTER. A film that is ambitious in more ways than one. It’s more than just a film for us. And we have given it all to this one. 2024 starts with the same feeling again of nervousness and anxiety. Here’s hoping that you guys give the same love to FIGHTER that you showered on PATHAAN. Happy new year, guys! See at the movies!”
Earlier this week, the film joined the coveted Rs 100 crore club. (ANI)
