Digital Desk

Salman Khan's ambitious project "Battle of Galwan" is progressing steadily, with the next shooting schedule set to begin on October 10 in Mumbai. Directed by a yet-to-be-announced filmmaker and produced by Ekta Kapoor, this patriotic drama recreates the 2020 India-China clash, focusing on heroism and sacrifice. Khan plays a commanding officer, supported by a ensemble including new faces from the armed forces background.

Only 20-25% of the shoot is complete so far, with earlier portions filmed in Ladakh's rugged terrains to authenticity. The upcoming Mumbai leg involves massive sets replicating border areas, including action-packed sequences. Sources indicate high security on set due to sensitive themes.

The film, eyeing a June or August 2026 release, possibly around Republic Day, carries a hefty budget for realistic VFX and stunts. Salman has undergone physical training, shedding weight for the role. Script revisions incorporated real veterans' inputs for accuracy.

Ekta Kapoor stated: "It's a tribute to our soldiers; Salman's dedication is inspiring." Buzz suggests cameos from other stars. Post-production will focus on editing to balance emotion and action.

With Salman's star power, expectations are sky-high for box office dominance. Promotional material, including posters, has started teasing the intense narrative. As shooting resumes, fans eagerly await more updates on this emotional rollercoaster.
