Film Details and Background
On July 4, Salman Khan revealed the first look poster of the film, showcasing him in a bloodied, snow-covered uniform, wielding a barbed weapon, and sporting a thick moustache.
The cast also includes Zeyn Shaw, Ankur Bhatia, Harshil Shah, Heera Sohall, Abhilash Chaudhary, and Vipin Bhardwaj.
While the exact release date remains unannounced, filming is set to commence in July 2025. This project is particularly significant for Salman, as it will be his first portrayal of an army officer in a leading role. According to sources, filming will take place in Ladakh and Mumbai over a span of 70 days, starting in July.
The film is inspired by the Galwan Valley clash of 2020, a tragic confrontation between Indian and Chinese forces in a disputed area of Ladakh. This incident, which occurred on June 15, resulted in casualties on both sides and marked the first fatalities in the Sino-Indian border conflict in nearly 45 years. The combat involved hand-to-hand fighting, as firearms were not permitted in the region.
