Salman Khan Starts Shooting for Battle of Galwan, Check Out The BTS Pic

Bollywood star Salman Khan has officially begun shooting for his next film, The Battle of Galwan. A behind-the-scenes photo has gone viral that shows the actor facing a lot of cameras and seemingly preparing for a shot. He can be seen wearing a blue shirt with jeans.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the photo on social media and wrote, “Superstar #SalmanKhan joins the prestigious #GalwanValley team His aura, intensity & larger-than-life presence will take this patriotic saga to another level. Bollywood’s Tiger steps into #GalwanValley, His charisma + action = guaranteed blockbuster storm!”

Take a look at it here:

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the movie is based on the intense 2020 conflict between Indian and Chinese forces in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh. The first look of Khan’s character was unveiled last month. In the motion poster, he appeared with bloodstains on his face, a sharp moustache, and a powerful expression filled with pride and determination.

The battle took place high up in the Ladakh region, over 15,000 feet above sea level. It was a deadly hand-to-hand confrontation between Indian and Chinese soldiers that took place on June 15, 2020. Because firearms were banned in the area under a prior agreement, soldiers fought using sticks, stones, and their bare hands. The event resulted in multiple casualties on both sides and marked the first deaths in a border conflict between India and China in over 45 years.

Salman Khan spoke about the physical challenges he faced while playing his character in the film. He said, “It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I have to give more time now. Earlier, I would manage it in one or two weeks, but now I’m running, kicking, punching, and doing all that stuff. This film demands that. For instance, in Sikandar, the action was different, the character was different. But this is physically difficult, especially shooting in Ladakh, at high altitudes and in cold water.”
