Salman Khan’s next film Battle of Galwan is definitely one of the most eagerly awaited Bollywood projects. Recent reports suggest that the last leg of the shoot of the film has officially commenced, with Salman joining the crew in Mumbai on October 12.
According to Bollywood Bubble, the last schedule began on October 11, with Salman set to begin shooting the next day. The actor had just completed a grueling 45-day shoot in the high-altitude landscapes of Leh, Ladakh, which was said to be a start-to-finish schedule. On his return to Mumbai, Salman sported a clean-shaven appearance, leaving behind the thick moustache worn for his character in the film.
This concluding schedule is said to be pivotal, not just on some high-octane action scenes but also on emotional scenes that move the heart of the narrative. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Battle of Galwan takes us back to the 2020 Galwan Valley confrontation between Indian and Chinese soldiers — an encounter that shook the country. What made the battle even more gruesome was the absence of weapons, with the soldiers fighting each other using sticks and stones.

Last month in July, Salman provided fans with a strong sneak peek into the film through a motion poster. The visuals presented him in a hard, battered avatar — bloodied, intense, and full of silent rage. With no words, the poster used an evocative sound track and haunting images to create a mood for a movie based on courage, sacrifice, and patriotism.
With its heart-wrenching script and a tour-de-force performance by Salman Khan, Battle of Galwan is likely to turn out to be one of the biggest cinematic pay homage to the Indian defence forces in recent times.
