RSS centenary celebrations Mumbai: Salman Khan’s upcoming film

During the programme, Salman Khan appeared focused on the speeches, and away from the stage work continued on the actor’s next film, Battle Of Galwan, co-starring Chitrangda Singh, where Salman Khan plays Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu in a story drawn from recent military history.

Battle Of Galwan is based on a chapter in the 2022 book 'India's Most Fearless 3’, written by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh, and the film takes inspiration from the deadly clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley on June 15, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
