The collective discipline ensured that no one took the craft lightly, making every scene feel purposeful and powerful.

Being part of such a massive film, working with an amazing cast and delivering a crucial scene in one take is something I will always cherish.” For Behzaad Khan, Fighter remains a defining milestone a reminder of how trust, discipline and passion can come together to create moments that stay etched in an actor’s journey.

During our pivotal scene together in “Fighter,” where he cared for Sukhi post-attack, he guided me, emphasizing thorough preparation and scene understanding. His relentless curiosity and commitment to craft, evident in his meticulous approach and readiness to learn, left a lasting impression. Anil sir’s humility struck me during the Fighter screening he had come to me & told me that we did two big movies together.

His words resonated, underscoring the significance of one’s work and the value of continuous growth.
