Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan share one of Bollywood's most enduring and emotionally layered friendships, built on mutual understanding, loyalty, and shared life experiences. Their bond dates back to the 1990s, when both actors were navigating stardom, media scrutiny, and personal turmoil. Over the years, their friendship has strengthened not just through professional associations, but through standing by each other during difficult phases.

Salman has often been vocal about his support for Sanjay Dutt, especially during the latter's legal battles and health struggles. He publicly advocated for Dutt's well-being, attended family events, and maintained unwavering solidarity when many distanced themselves. In turn, Sanjay Dutt has acknowledged Salman as a brother-like figure, praising his generosity and emotional strength.

Their bond is rooted in trust, with both actors valuing personal loyalty over public opinion. On-screen, their camaraderie has translated into memorable collaborations and appearances, marked by effortless chemistry and mutual respect. Off-screen, their friendship is defined by honesty and an unspoken understanding shaped by years of shared highs and lows. In an industry often driven by convenience, the friendship between Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan stands as a rare example of steadfast companionship and genuine brotherhood.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman will be next seen in 'Battle of Galwan'. The film is based on the Galwan stand-off between India and its expansionist neighbour, China on June 15, 2020 during the thick of the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in India. The Indian and Chinese troops clashed in the Galwan Valley, eastern Ladakh. It was part of a larger border standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The clash turned violent when both sides attempted to patrol disputed areas, leading to hand-to-hand combat.
