What to expect?
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the story of the film is centered around the Galwan standoff between Indian and Chinese troops in June 2020 in eastern Ladakh, during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was part of the border standoff between the two sides along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and led to hand-to-hand combat.
As many as 20 Indian soldiers were killed in the clash, while the neighbouring country also suffered casualties.
The film draws from a chapter in India’s Most Fearless 3, a bestselling book from Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh. It chronicles the real-life acts of heroism by soldiers of the Indian Army.
In September, Chitrangda Singh stated that she was a “bit nervous” when she decided to join the project.
“The reason is Salman has such a huge fan following and there are so many eyes on him always. So you get to hear a lot of response on what his fans think about his work. I am glad that they kind of accepted me with their Salman, their hero. I am happy that it’s been good so far,” she told HT.
The film is expected to be released in theaters in 2026. Salman was last seen in Sikandar, which was released on March 30. He is currently gearing up for Bigg Boss 19’s grand finale that is scheduled for December 7.
