Salman Khan’s Battle of Galwan begins filming in August, starting in Ladakh. The film honors the 2020 clash, highlighting Indian soldiers’ bravery at 15,000 ft.
Salman Khan took the internet by storm as he unveiled the motion poster of his upcoming film, Battle of Galwan. As soon as the motion poster was released, fans started dropping comments to show their excitement, and now everyone awaits the next update on the film. It looks like Salman is all set to start filming the movie this year itself.
As per a report in Bollywood Bubbly, a source close to the film has revealed that the Salman Khan-led movie will go on floors in Kashmir in August itself. The insider revealed that the first schedule will take place in Ladakh, followed by a stint in Mumbai, and then once more in Kashmir.
Recently, the makers revealed the motion poster of the film, and it shows the superstar in a rugged, battle-hardened avatar — his face bloodied, adorned with a proud moustache, and his eyes burning with fierce determination. The official handle for the film shared the motion poster on Instagram, captioning it, “Blood, grit, and patriotism at 15,000 ft. Salman Khan is ready for the most powerful story of modern India. #BattleOfGalwan motion poster out now!”
Battle of Galwan is inspired by the real-life confrontation that took place in June 2020 in the Galwan Valley, a remote and harshly elevated region of Ladakh. The clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers, fought without a single bullet being fired due to standing agreements, became one of the deadliest border conflicts in the region in over four decades. The Indian Army, despite the odds and altitude, displayed unmatched grit in hand-to-hand combat using rudimentary weapons like sticks and stones.
The film aims to chronicle this rarely portrayed aspect of modern warfare — one where strategy, courage, and sheer willpower supersede ammunition. Set at over 15,000 feet above sea level, the story reflects the indomitable spirit of Indian soldiers and the brutal reality of defending the nation under the harshest conditions.
