Salman Khan in Battle of Galwan
Battle of Galwan, starring Salman Khan, is one of the year's most anticipated movies. Netizens' reactions to the movie's teaser, which was posted on the actor's birthday a few days ago, were not entirely positive. Netizens are now saying that a video that has surfaced on social media is a scene from Battle of Galwan. In actuality, though, the film was produced by artificial intelligence.
A scene from Battle of Galwan gets leaked
Salman is seen in the footage lying on the ground with facial injuries. Later, he stands up and beats up the Chinese soldiers with a baseball bat. You will genuinely think you are watching a scenario from Battle of Galwan since the AI movie is that well-made.
"But there was no snow over there, when this incident took place," a netizen tweeted. It appears to be AI-generated. "Please trick people with this AI-generated shite on Instagram," another X user commented. Yahan par padhe likhe log hain (sic). "This one is better than the original teaser," remarked another internet user. This would have been more effective than releasing (sic) instead.

The release date of Battle of Galwan is April 17, 2026. Both audiences and admirers of Salman are anticipating the movie. But the teaser didn't make a big impression, and now everyone is anticipating the movie's trailer.
The actual conflict between Indian and Chinese forces in the Galwan Valley of eastern Ladakh on the evening of June 15–16, 2020, served as the inspiration for the Battle of Galwan. Chinese media alleged that the movie was misrepresenting the truth once the teaser was aired. Salman and filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia have not made any comments regarding it.
Chitrangada Singh plays the main part in Battle of Galwan as well. Numerous more performers play important roles in the film, including Zeyn Shaw, Ankur Bhatia, Abhilash Chaudhary, Vipin Bhardwaj, and Heera Sohal.
Recent controversy around the film
On December 27, 2025, Salman Khan's 60th birthday, the Battle of Galwan teaser was published, sparking the debate. The film, which is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, intends to dramatize one of the most severe confrontations in modern India-China relations by depicting the terrifying June 2020 hand-to-hand combat between Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
Battle of Galwan cannot "rewrite history," according to criticism released by the Chinese government-affiliated Global Times, which also charged that the movie presents a biased account of events. Additionally, it criticized the teaser's alleged factual errors and dismissed the depiction of Indian Army sacrifices as exaggerated or overstated.
