'Fighter,' 'Tiger vs Pathaan': Every upcoming Siddharth Anand mega-budget project
With back-to-back hits, Siddharth Anand has become a prominent name in the Bollywood industry. Following the massive success of his January release Pathaan—featuring Shah Rukh Khan—Anand's career soared to new heights. The director is now all set to venture into production with his banner Marflix Pictures and has lined up six mega-budget films scheduled for release over the next three years. Here's the breakdown.
'Fighter'
Scheduled for release on January 25, 2024—the same date on which Pathaan was released this year—Fighter is one of the highly-anticipated directorial projects by Anand. Featuring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in the lead, the first look of Roshan's character was recently shared on social media. What makes Fighter even more interesting is that Anand will be producing it alongside directing it.
'Tiger vs Pathaan'
One of the most awaited films in YRF's Spy Universe—featuring Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and SRK—is Tiger vs Pathaan. Helmed by Anand, the film will bring together two iconic characters, Pathaan and Tiger, as they square off against each other.

'Rambo'
Tiger Shroff and Anand will collaborate once again after their commercially successful film War (2019) in the highly-anticipated action project, Rambo. The film will be helmed by Rohit Dhawan and Anand will serve as one of the producers for Rambo. The Shroff-led movie is said to be a Hindi adaptation of the 1982 eponymous Hollywood classic, which featured Sylvester Stallone in the lead role.
