Having completed a difficult shoot in Ladakh, Salman Khan will start the second schedule of his action drama Battle of Galwan next week in Mumbai. Apoorva Lakhia directs the film, which dramatizes the 2020 Galwan Valley skirmish between Indian and Chinese forces—a fierce hand-to-hand battle that turned the tide of recent Indian military history.
As per Pinkvilla, the Mumbai schedule will be among the most important in the film and comprise both intense action sequences and emotional scenes. One source shared that Salman and the team shot in extreme conditions in Ladakh, where temperatures went as low as 10°C and oxygen levels didn’t rise beyond being dangerous. Though Salman had some minor health issues, the actor persevered to finish his portion of work in the 45-day Ladakh shoot schedule, working 15 days on the set.
The next schedule will witness the cast switching over to controlled sets, where they can concentrate on the patriotic action as well as the emotional core of the film. Salman has taken a brief halt to recuperate before going back to work.
In July, fans saw Battle of Galwan for the first time through a motion poster that gave Khan a rugged, battle-hardened appearance. With blood on his face, a stern moustache, and resolute eyes, the teaser promised a performance based on strength, sacrifice, and country pride—against the background of a tense military environment.
