Battle of Galwan release to be rescheduled?
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the makers are considering postponing the film’s release as the shoot is yet to be completed. Quoting a source, the portal stated, “Battle of Galwan is scheduled to release on April 17. However, the shoot is not yet over, and the reshoot is taking more time than expected.” The team was reportedly set to wrap filming by the end of February, but the schedule was disrupted due to Salim Khan’s sudden ill health.
Apart from completing the shoot, the makers are also required to screen the film for the Ministry of Defence as per protocol. The source added, “Due to these two reasons, the makers feel they may not be able to meet the April 17 deadline. Salman Khan believes that such a special, patriotic film needs to be nurtured well. He has told the team not to rush the process and to take their time to ensure the final product looks appealing, compelling, and cinematic.”
Battle of Galwan is inspired by the real-life clash between Indian and Chinese forces in the Galwan Valley of eastern Ladakh on the night of June 15–16, 2020. Following the teaser’s release, Chinese media alleged that the film misrepresented facts. Salman Khan and director Apoorva Lakhia have not commented on the controversy.
The film also stars Chitrangada Singh in a key role, along with Zeyn Shaw, Ankur Bhatia, Abhilash Chaudhary, Vipin Bhardwaj, and Heera Sohal.
