During an interview with Pinkvilla, ‘Fighter’ director Siddharth Anand spoke about the possibility of a sequel to this film. He said he was afraid to do part 2. He said he was one of those directors who hadn’t made a sequel because he preferred to avoid them. However, Anand said, “Never say never”, the love of the audience will decide what to do. So far it’s only been three to four days since its release and he has some great ideas for Fighter 2 that he wants to write down.
Siddharth also said that he is not keen on a sequel at the moment because he wants to create new characters and new stories.
