The film is set to hit theatres on April 17, 2026. Produced by Salma Khan under the banner of Salman Khan Films, Battle Of Galwan also stars Chitrangada Singh in a key role alongside Salman. 

Salman on the Physical Toll of the Film

Earlier, speaking to PTI, Salman revealed how demanding the film has been for him physically. He said, "It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I've to give more time now (for training). Earlier, I would do it (train) in one or two weeks, now I'm running, kicking, punching, and all that stuff. This film demands that."

Battling Harsh Conditions in Ladakh

Elaborating further on the challenges, Salman added, "For instance, in 'Sikandar' the action was different, the character was different. But this is physically difficult. Besides, shooting in Ladakh, in high altitude and in cold water (is another challenge)," highlighting the extreme conditions faced during filming.

A Crucial Film After Sikandar

Salman Khan was last seen in Sikandar, released in March and directed by AR Murugadoss, with Rashmika Mandanna in a pivotal role. The film failed to strike a chord with audiences, making Battle Of Galwan a highly awaited project for fans.
