The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, is said to be an army-based action thriller inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict. It reportedly draws inspiration from the novel "India's Most Fearless 3," which delves into the real-life valor of the Indian armed forces. Salman Khan is set to essay the role of a real-life war hero, believed to be Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu, who led Indian troops during the clash. This marks a significant departure for the actor, as it will be his first full-fledged role as an army officer and a portrayal of a real-life military figure.

Sources close to the production reveal that Salman Khan is dedicated to doing justice to the challenging role. He has reportedly been undergoing an intense training regimen to achieve a leaner and more rugged look, necessary for the demanding physical sequences and the high-altitude shooting environment in Ladakh. His recent public appearances have already showcased a noticeably fitter frame, which fans are enthusiastically praising.

The 70-day shooting schedule for 'Galwan' will primarily take place in Ladakh, with some portions also being filmed in Mumbai. Apoorva Lakhia and his team have been actively involved in location scouting in Ladakh and finalizing key department heads, ensuring all preparations are in place for a smooth commencement of filming.

Joining Salman Khan in pivotal roles will be three other younger actors, adding to the ensemble cast. While official confirmations on the full cast are awaited, reports suggest that Chitrangda Singh has been roped in as the female lead, marking her first collaboration with the superstar.

After his last outing, 'Sikandar', Salman Khan is looking to deliver a powerful and impactful performance with 'Galwan'. The film is generating considerable buzz, with fans eagerly anticipating his portrayal of a national hero and the raw, emotionally charged narrative that the film promises to deliver. 'Galwan' is expected to be a cinematic tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the Indian armed forces, aiming for a theatrical release in early 2026, possibly around Republic Day.
