Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, known for their dedication to fitness, continue to inspire fans with their workout routines. Director Siddharth Anand, currently in the midst of promoting his upcoming film 'Fighter,' shared insights into how he persuaded the two to showcase their toned physiques. When asked about earlier reports suggesting that Shah Rukh Khan was hesitant to reveal his abs in the song 'Jhoome Jo Pathaan,' Siddharth Anand was questioned if a similar situation occurred with Deepika and Hrithik.

According to ANI, the filmmaker responded, "It's not easy to convince them, first of all. Honestly, it stems from the confidence that they have. They have confidence in themselves, in their appearance, about how good-looking they are. Just look at them. Inko kuch bolne ki zaroorat nhi padti hai."

Siddharth Anand expressed, "As I have said in other interviews, just see how gorgeous they are looking. Honestly, I don't need to do anything. Just roll it at 48 frames and make them walk and put good music." Hrithik Roshan responded, "You can trust Sid," and Siddharth acknowledged the hard work that went into achieving their impressive physiques. "Jokes apart, it's not easy to look like this. I think they put in a lot of effort, and the one word that I use is sacrifice. There's a lot of sacrifice that goes into looking like this, and they are relentless. They know what to wear to the beach or while dancing. Imagine us dancing shirtless. Every part is going to be jumping. They are like rock; they are sculpted, and it's a lot of effort that goes into it," he added

Deepika Padukone added that having faith in the director's sensibility and style is crucial for actors. She mentioned trusting that the material will be presented properly, allowing the conversation to flow naturally. "You know it will be presented properly; you trust his sense of style," she said.

In the context of the fitness discussion, Siddharth Anand highlighted Anil Kapoor's commitment to staying fit. He praised Anil's youthful appearance, mentioning, "Does he look like 42? Can anyone say he's 42?" Anil Kapoor humorously responded to Siddharth's question about his New Year plans and destination, revealing that he prefers going to a health farm or resort to avoid the city's party scene.

'Fighter,' directed by Siddharth Anand, features Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi. The film, produced by Viacom18 Studios in collaboration with Marflix Pictures, pays tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and patriotism of the Indian armed forces.
