The courtesy visit of Salman Khan came amid his shooting schedule in Leh for his upcoming film 'Battle of Galwan'. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has begun shooting for his much-anticipated film 'Battle of Galwan'.

Earlier this month, the actor dropped the picture on his Instagram handle in which Salman is seen in a military uniform. His rugged moustache and commanding gaze reflected fierce patriotism.

Salman will be seen donning the Indian Army uniform in Apoorva Lakhia's directorial 'Battle of Galwan', which is based on the 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 undertaking 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 regions. Actor Chitrangda Singh has been paired opposite Salman in the film.

The announcement video showcased Salman with bloodstains on his face and sheer patriotism in his eyes. It further elaborates on the film's theme.

While I appreciate Salman's visit, I hope the film focuses on the actual heroes - our soldiers who laid down their lives, not just star power. The subject is too sensitive for typical Bollywood drama.

Good to see our film industry taking up nationalistic subjects. But I hope they consult with actual army personnel and families of martyrs to keep it authentic. No commercial masala please!
