Ananya Panday was recently awarded the Filmfare for Best Debut in Student Of The Year 2 and Pati Patni Aur Woh.

Fighter is said to be based on the life of a boxer. The film is tipped to come as a Telugu-Hindi bilingual and also have releases in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Deverakonda will be keen on striking form with the film given his recent debacle with World Famous Lover.
