'Fighter' Faces Legal Heat Over Climax Kissing Scene, IAF Issues Formal Notice

The upcoming film "Fighter," directed by Siddharth Anand and starring Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan, has become embroiled in legal controversy due to a pivotal kissing scene, as reported by ABP.

The scene, reportedly occurring in the movie's climax, features the two leads, portraying Indian Air Force (IAF) Squadron Leaders Mini Rathore (Padukone) and Shamsher Pathania (Roshan), expressing their rekindled love with a passionate kiss while still in uniform.

This depiction has sparked outrage from an IAF officer who has issued a legal notice to the film's team. According to ABP reports, the officer finds the portrayal of an intimate moment between uniformed personnel disrespectful to the IAF's valor and its uniform, especially given the characters' elite status.
