Air Force Officer Sends Legal Notice to Fighter Jet Manufacturers Over Kissing Scene

The officer claimed that the scene between the two lead actors of the movie is an insult to the Indian Air Force (IAF). Sources said the notice has been served by a Wing Commander in his personal capacity, and the action by the official does not represent the sentiment of the IAF. It is learned that the IAF official who served the notice hails from Assam. The official claimed that the scene between the two lead actors of the movie was an insult to the IAF.

Directed by Siddharth Anand, the movie, which was released on January 25, is billed as a tribute to the valor, sacrifice, and patriotism of the Indian armed forces. According to the film’s official synopsis, “Fighter”, also starring Anil Kapoor, is about a new and elite unit, Air Dragons, which is commissioned by the Air Headquarters in response to terror activities in the Srinagar Valley. “They are now the first responders to any hostile activity. They comprise the best combat aviators handpicked from across the IAF.

‘Fighter’ is the story of Air Dragons who are willing to give it their all for the nation while going through the highs and lows of their internal and external battles,” it reads. *(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed. )*
