Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan is an example to emulate. The actor is currently filming Siddharth Anand’s movie The Fighter, which also stars Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor.
The actor got flight simulator training to play the role of a pilot. The actor reportedly began training at Tezpur airbase in November, as the filming was done in Assam for the first time for Fighter.
The actor continued to practice even after his time spent in Assam. He previously shared his experience shooting Fighter: “We shot with a real fighter jet. We shot in a Sukhoi. It’s only promoted around the IAF. A lot can be learned from their body language about life, behaviour and discipline, courage and wisdom, meeting personally.”
A source close to the project said, “In order to present himself with confidence on the screen, Hrithik chose to practice on the simulator and learnt about buttons and automation techniques. He spent time touring Air Force bases and the Air Force Training Academy, as well as observing how pilots and soldiers behave and work. Hrithik is passionate about writing, from discussions with directors to knowledge, and gives his films the best performance possible.
The Fighter has also seen Hrithik’s boxing stance, and despite this he has been working for days to keep the right form
