Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is once again donning the olive green uniform as he returns to the sets of his highly anticipated war drama, Battle of Galwan. Reports from the industry suggest that the actor has cleared his busy calendar for a fresh 15-day schedule aimed at filming additional high-octane action sequences and essential patchwork.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Battle of Galwan is based on the real-life 2020 border skirmish between Indian and Chinese forces. Sources close to the production indicate that after reviewing the initial edit, Salman and the directorial team felt that certain segments of the film required more “impact” to truly honor the bravery of the Indian soldiers.
While the primary filming was wrapped up in late 2025, the decision to return for a 15-day stint highlights Salman’s commitment to the project. This new schedule is not just for minor corrections; it reportedly includes a newly choreographed hand-to-hand combat sequence.
“Salman doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned. He wants to ensure that the audience feels the grit and intensity of the Galwan Valley. The team decided that adding these scenes would significantly elevate the film’s climax,” a source revealed.
The film features Salman Khan in the role of Colonel Santosh Babu, leading the 16 Bihar Regiment. Known for its realistic approach, the movie explores how Indian troops stood their ground at 15,000 feet above sea level.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia the film stars Salman Khan and Chitrangada Singh in leading roles. The music is given by none other than Himesh Reshammiya.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for a confirmed date, and despite the additional shoot, the movie remains on track for its 2026 release. Current industry buzz suggests the film is eyeing an April 17, 2026 theatrical debut, strategically avoiding the crowded Eid window while still capturing the lucrative summer vacation period.
The actor had previously described this film as one of the most physically demanding of his career, involving training for low-oxygen environments and filming in freezing temperatures. This final 15-day push is expected to be the last leg of production before the film enters its extensive post-production phase involving VFX and sound design.
