According to various reports, including one from India Today, Chitrangda Singh has been finalized for the pivotal role in the film, which is being directed by Apoorva Lakhia, known for his gritty action dramas like "Shootout at Lokhandwala."

The untitled film is said to be inspired by the Galwan chapter from the book "India's Most Fearless 3," co-authored by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh. Salman Khan is reportedly set to portray the real-life character of Colonel B. Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment, who bravely led Indian troops during the intense conflict. This role is a significant departure for Khan, as it will be his first time essaying a real-life military figure in a full-length feature film.

The film is reportedly planning a rigorous 70-day shooting schedule, with principal photography expected to commence in July 2025 across locations like Ladakh and other key areas. The team aims to wrap up filming by October, potentially eyeing a Republic Day 2026 release.

Chitrangda Singh, lauded for her compelling performances in films like "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi" and more recently seen in projects like "Housefull 5" and the series "Khakee: The Bengal Chapter," is poised for a significant big-screen comeback alongside one of Bollywood's biggest stars. This collaboration, almost a decade after rumors of a mentorship between the two, has generated considerable excitement among fans eager to witness this new on-screen dynamic.

The film also plans to cast three younger actors in pivotal military roles, further emphasizing the camaraderie and sacrifice of the armed forces. With a blend of high-octane action and nationalistic fervor, Salman Khan's Galwan Valley film is set to be a powerful cinematic tribute to the bravery of the Indian soldiers.
