What’s the Story?
‘Battle of Galwan’ is more than just an action flick; it’s a tribute. The film is based on the real-life conflict that took place in the Galwan Valley on June 15, 2020. This was a significant moment involving Indian and Chinese soldiers, where Indian forces showed incredible bravery and sacrifice. The movie aims to honor those heroes. Salman Khan will play the role of Colonel B. Santosh Babu, a central figure in this powerful story.
Bringing this important story to life is director Apoorva Lakhia. He’s known for his intense and gripping films, like *Shootout at Lokhandwala*, so expect some serious drama and action. Salman is joined by a talented group of actors, including Chitrangada Singh, Jane Shaw, Ankur Bhatia, Harshil Shah, Heera Sohal, Abhilash Chaudhary, and Vipin Bhardwaj. This ensemble cast promises a strong performance to match the film’s weighty subject.
Salman’s Latest Journey
Fans last saw Salman on the big screen in *Sikandar*. In that movie, he played a character named Sanjay ‘Sikandar’ Rajkot and shared the screen with Rashmika Mandanna. While *Sikandar* got a mixed bag of reviews, it’s clear that Salman is always ready to tackle new and exciting roles. Now, with ‘Battle of Galwan’, he’s diving into a historical action-drama that could be a huge turning point. Everyone is eager to see his portrayal of a real-life hero.
