Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has sustained minor injuries while filming his upcoming war drama Battle of Galwan in Ladakh. Despite the challenges of sub-zero temperatures and low oxygen levels, the actor completed the high-altitude schedule and is now preparing to resume the next leg of shooting in Mumbai starting next week.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Battle of Galwan is based on the 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan Valley; a brutal confrontation fought without firearms. It is remembered as one of the most intense border skirmishes in recent history.
Gruelling shoot in harsh terrain
According to a Pinkvilla report, the Ladakh schedule tested the limits of the entire cast and crew. The team filmed for 45 days at real locations, with Salman Khan on set for 15 of those days. A source revealed, “The shoot happened in temperatures below minus 10 degrees. Salman battled through harsh conditions and even minor injuries but continued to deliver action and dramatic sequences.”
Though the actor is currently on a short break to recover, he is expected to be back on set in Mumbai soon. The Mumbai schedule is set to be one of the most crucial phases of the project, blending high-octane action with emotionally charged storytelling. Director Apoorva Lakhia reportedly plans to capture some of the most moving and pivotal moments of the narrative during this phase.
