Apoorva Lakhia captioned the post, “Guess what is he telling me #legendonsettoday,” tagging Amitabh Bachchan, which immediately set social media and fan forums buzzing.
Reddit users quickly began speculating about Amitabh’s potential role in the film. Questions ranged from whether he would appear as a narrator to whether he might have an on-screen character alongside Salman. One popular post read, “Is he going to play a character in the movie or be a narrator? If he has a character, it will be exciting to see him and Salman share the screen after so long.”
Another user suggested, “The sets for Battle of Galwan and KBC are in Film City. Apoorva Lakhia may have met AB during the shoot. There are rumours that Govinda might also make a cameo. Since Salman is currently shooting only one film, he was likely referring to BOG.”
Fans are also discussing the intriguing casting choices, noting that Salman Khan, at 60, will reportedly portray Santosh Babu, an army officer who was 37 during the historic battle.
“Let me be clear, SIXTY-YEAR-OLD Salman plays Galwan hero Santosh Babu, who was 37. What even,” commented one fan, highlighting the challenges of portraying a much younger army officer. Others speculated that Amitabh Bachchan could serve as the film’s narrator, lending his iconic voice to bring gravitas to the project.
