Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is gearing up for his next big project — a feature film based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict, directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The movie, inspired by the acclaimed novel India's Most Fearless 3, will spotlight the courage of the Indian Armed Forces. The film is expected to begin shooting in July 2025.
In a major casting update, Chitrangda Singh has been finalised as the female lead opposite Salman. This marks the first time the duo will share screen space, and fans are already buzzing with excitement. Chitrangda was last seen in Housefull 5 alongside Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh, where her performance was widely appreciated.
Though Salman’s previous release, Sikandar, failed to impress at the box office — barely crossing ₹120 crore — his fanbase remains loyal and highly anticipative of his upcoming roles. Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss, also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi, but received mostly negative reviews from both critics and audiences.
The upcoming war drama with Lakhia, however, is already generating strong buzz. On Wednesday, Apoorva Lakhia teased fans by sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses from the pre-production phase on Instagram. The photos included detailed figurines of Indian soldiers and aircraft models, suggesting a high-intensity war setup. These visuals have only increased expectations, with many fans already calling it a potential blockbuster.
With a powerful subject, new pairing, and a gripping source of inspiration, Salman Khan's collaboration with Apoorva Lakhia promises a cinematic tribute to the bravery of Indian soldiers.
