Salman Khan features in a gritty avatar, ready to take on Chinese soldiers in ‘Battle of Galwan’ teaser
Mumbai, Dec. 27 – A new teaser for the upcoming action film “Battle of Galwan” was revealed on Saturday, aligning with Salman Khan’s birthday. The short clip honors the bravery of India’s frontline troops and underscores their unwavering resolve.
In the teaser, Salman Khan cuts a formidable figure, portraying an Indian Army officer with a subtle yet fierce demeanor. His weathered appearance, restrained aggression, and intense silence convey more than words, especially in the finale when his unflinching stare locks directly with the viewer, leaving a lasting impression.
The teaser strikes with gritty, stark visuals that capture the harsh high‑altitude environment and the brutal reality of mountain warfare. In addition to Khan, the film features Chitrangada Singh and is produced by Salma Khan under the banner of Salman Khan Films.
“Battle of Galwan” dramatizes the June 15, 2020 standoff in the Galwan Valley of eastern Ladakh, a key flashpoint along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China. The clash, which occurred amid India’s first wave of the COVID‑19 pandemic, escalated into hand‑to‑hand combat after both sides attempted to patrol disputed territory. The confrontation turned into the deadliest India‑China encounter in more than forty years, claiming the lives of 20 Indian soldiers and leading to casualties on the Chinese side as well.
The incident sparked a sharp rise in tensions, prompting both nations to bolster troop deployments and engage in diplomatic talks to avert further conflict. Recent years have seen efforts to improve relations on both sides, with India also navigating trade pressures from the United States, a major rival of China in the West.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, “Battle of Galwan” is slated for theatrical release on April 17, 2026.
