Salman Khan has started filming his next film, ‘Battle of Galwan,’ directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The movie is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers. Salman will play the lead role, and the film is expected to depict the bravery and sacrifices of soldiers during the historic battle.Reports confirm that Salman has commenced shooting in Ladakh, and the team is prioritizing the climax sequences. This is to ensure that the most crucial parts of the film are completed before any disruption from unpredictable weather conditions.
Team prioritizes filming climax sequences in Ladakh
According to an India Today report, “Galwan’s climax is among the most important parts of the film, both visually and emotionally. Given Leh and Ladakh’s unpredictable weather, the makers want to ensure the quality of these sequences is not compromised. That is why they are planning to complete as much as possible during this schedule itself.”The team plans to shoot the climax over the next two to three weeks. These sequences are expected to be high-octane and emotionally intense, creating the film’s major dramatic impact.
Salman revealed a physically demanding high-altitude shoot
Salman Khan had earlier shared the challenges of filming in Ladakh. He told PTI, “It is physically demanding. Earlier, I would train for a role in a couple of weeks. Now it takes more time. This film demands a lot—running, kicking, and punching, along with extreme conditions like high altitude and freezing water.”
The motion poster generated a strong audience response
The first look of ‘Battle of Galwan’ created significant buzz online. The motion poster shows Salman in a bloodied, battle-worn avatar, clad in uniform, with an intense moustache and fierce patriotism radiating from his expression. Fans see it as a strong comeback after his last film, ‘Sikandar,’ did not meet expectations.
The actor balances multiple work commitments simultaneously
While filming ‘Battle of Galwan,’ Salman is also managing his work for the reality show ‘Bigg Boss 19.’ Balancing both projects adds another layer of challenge to an already demanding schedule.
