Hrithik Roshan's 'Fighter' Is Inspired By This Tom Cruise-Starrer Hit?

We had reported that Hrithik Roshan and Bang Bang director Siddharth Anand will team up once more for an action thriller titled Fighter and we have learned that the film has been loosely inspired by a hit film starring Tom Cruise.

Buzz has it that Roshan Jr will essay the role of an Air Force pilot in Fighter, which is reportedly on the lines of Tom Cruise-starrer Top Gun, which had released in 1986 and was a massive hit at the box-office there. It is said that after the film's release, the US Navy stated that the number of young men who joined wanting to be Naval Aviators went up by 500 percent. Wonder if Fighter does the same for the Indian Air Force, eh?

Hrithik will be next seen playing a visually impaired avenger in Sanjay Gupta's Kaabil.
