Salman Khan has finally given fans their first glimpse of his upcoming film Battle of Galwan with the release of its motion poster. The project, which has been generating significant buzz, is based on the Galwan Valley clash, one of India’s most intense battles in recent history. The motion poster, now out, highlights Salman Khan in a striking avatar — bloodstains on his face, a proud moustache, and a fierce look of patriotism in his eyes.
Battle of Galwan promises to bring to life the story of the 2020 Galwan Valley confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh. The conflict, which occurred on June 15, 2020, stands out in modern military history as a brutal hand-to-hand battle fought without the use of firearms. Despite the extreme altitude of over 15,000 feet and the harsh conditions, Indian soldiers displayed extraordinary courage, and the battle became a defining moment in India’s border defense narrative.
The motion poster captures the raw emotion and intensity that the film aims to deliver. It sets the tone for what is expected to be a powerful retelling of a battle that showcased India’s resilience and determination.
The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and is inspired by the book ‘India’s Most Fearless 3’ written by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh. In Battle of Galwan, Salman Khan is reported to portray Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment, who bravely led his troops during the clash and was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra for his valor.
Further updates regarding the film’s release date and supporting cast are awaited.
