Salman Khan's upcoming film Battle of Galwan is surrounded by uncertainty over its April 17 release date. Delays stem from ongoing shooting, reshoots, and the need for Defence Ministry approval. Director Apoorva Lakhia and the team are still deliberating on a final decision.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's highly anticipated patriotic film Battle of Galwan may face a release delay. According to a Bollywood Hungama report, the shooting is not yet complete, and reshoots are taking longer than expected. A one-week schedule begins on February 9 at Mumbai's Golden Tobacco Factory, with additional days of filming to follow. The production is expected to wrap by the end of February.
Director Apoorva Lakhia will then edit the reshot portions. The film requires mandatory screening by the Ministry of Defence, which could add further time. These factors make meeting the April 17 deadline challenging. Salman Khan is deeply committed to the project and has advised the team against rushing it, emphasizing the need to deliver a powerful and impactful final product.
The movie depicts the 2020 Galwan clash along the Line of Actual Control, where 20 Indian soldiers were martyred. Alongside Salman, the cast includes Chitrangda Singh, Jahn Shah, Ankur Bhatia, Abhilaash Chaudhary, Vipin Bhardwaj, and Hira Sohal in key roles. The teaser was released last year on Salman's birthday, earning praise from fans but also some criticism over his expressions in war scenes. No final decision has been made yet, with clarity expected in the coming days.
