Bollywood megastar Salman Khan has begun shooting his next film “Battle of Galwan” in the stunning landscapes of Ladakh. The film, which has been directed by Apoorva Lakhia, is a tribute to the valour and sacrifice of the Indian soldiers and is inspired by the real-life confrontation between Indian and Chinese forces in the Galwan Valley in 2020.

The director posted a behind the scenes look on his social media, showing Khan in costume, all set for a mission of high octane action amidst the breathtaking mountainscape. The shoot commenced with a small ceremony, starting a grueling schedule that will take the crew to Ladakh to shoot for 25 days, followed by a stint in Mumbai.

Salman is playing the role of Colonel B Santosh Babu, the officer commanding the Indian forces during the standoff. For accurately playing the role, Khan has been training hard, ranging from weight training to cardio and even high-pressure chamber training at his residence. He’s also been keeping to a strict diet to acquire the physical intensity needed for the role.

The film will be an interesting retelling of one of the most recent important events in the history of India’s armed forces. Salman’s acting will be anxiously awaited, following his last film Sikandar, in which he portrayed a character fueled by personal tragedy. With “Battle of Galwan,” Khan will be embarking on a new challenge and proving himself to be a versatile actor.

The movie has a great cast with Chitrangda Singh, Zeyn Shaw, Ankur Bhatia, and Harshil Shah. He is also getting ready to host the new installment of “Bigg Boss,” which started on August 24. With the busy schedule, Khan is indeed keeping himself very busy, and fans are waiting with bated breath for his future ventures.
