Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Fighter’ has landed in a soup for a steamy scene between the leads. The movie has reportedly been slammed with a legal notice for allegedly ‘defaming and insulting’ Indian Air Force and its officers, since it features the leads kissing in uniforms.
According to reports, Wing Commander Saumya Deep Das has sent a notice to the makers, with the subject that reads, ‘Legal Notice for Defamation, Insult and Negative Impact of Indian Air Force and its Officers’ Stressing on the importance of the Indian Air Force uniform, a part of the notice, reproduced by IndiaTV reads, “It embodies the highest ideals of sacrifice, discipline, and unwavering dedication to protecting our nation.By utilizing this sacred symbol for a scene promoting personal romantic entanglements, the film grossly misrepresents its inherent dignity and devalues the profound sacrifices made by countless officers in service of our nation. Moreover, it normalizes inappropriate behaviour in uniform, setting a dangerous precedent that undermines the moral and ethical standards expected from those entrusted with safeguarding our borders.”
The notice further stated, “Kissing in uniform, on a runway which comes under the purview of a technical area, while portrayed as romantic, is considered grossly inappropriate and unbecoming of an IAF officer, as it contradicts the high standards of discipline and decorum expected from them.” It remains to be seen how the makers will react to this legal notice.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, ‘Fighter’ also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Sanjeeda Sheikh in key roles. In 13 days, ‘Fighter’ has managed to earn Rs 179 crore at the domestic box office.
