Chitrangda Singh to star opposite Salman Khan in 'Battle of Galwan'

Salman Khan Films also welcomed Chitrangda on board.

Salman will be seen donning the Indian Army uniform in Apoorva Lakhia's directorial 'Battle of Galwan', which is based on Galwan valley clashes at the India-China border in 2020.

Twenty Indian soldiers had died during the Galwan valley clash on June 16, 2020, five years ago, while the Chinese side also faced heavy casualties.

Following the clashes, tensions between India and China rose with the army deploying formations near the Galwan Valley, along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh and undertook a range of activities such as surveying border areas to stop a "possible" Chinese aggression.

Since the clashes, India and China have disengaged from various border areas steadily, and have also created a buffer zone in various areas.

Sharing the film's poster recently, Salman on Instagram wrote, "#GalwanValley."

More details regarding the film have not been disclosed yet.

Chitrangda is such an underrated actress! She was brilliant in Bob Biswas. But I'm worried - will this film do justice to such a sensitive topic? Galwan martyrs deserve respect, not masala treatment. 🙏

Why does every Indian army movie need a romantic angle? This was about our bravehearts' sacrifice, not about pairing actors. Hope they don't dilute the seriousness of Galwan clash with unnecessary songs and drama.

Excited to see Salman Khan in army uniform again after Shershaah! But please don't make it larger-than-life like typical Bollywood. Our soldiers' real stories are heroic enough without added drama. #GalwanHeroes

Good casting but I hope they consult actual Galwan veterans for authenticity. These martyrs' families will be watching - the film must honor their sacrifice truthfully. No room for creative liberties here.

Chitrangda-Salman pairing sounds interesting! But more than entertainment, I hope this film educates youth about border tensions. Many don't understand what our soldiers go through daily. 🙏 #RespectIndianArmy
