Salman Khan's Battle Of Galwan Set To Go On Floors This August: Report
After the release of Sikandar, Salman Khan is gearing up for his next major project titled Battle of Galwan. The war drama, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, will depict the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops which was one of the most intense military confrontations in recent years. According to a new report now, the filming is expected to begin in early August.
Sources close to the production revealed to Mid-Day that the shoot will start in Mumbai before moving to Ladakh. A large set is currently being constructed at Mehboob Studio, which is expected to be ready by the end of July. 'The Mehboob Studio schedule is crucial as [the team] has to shoot some of the early character-building moments there before the team heads to Ladakh for the high-octane action. The art and production design team has been working round the clock to recreate the textures inside the studio. It's a detailed set that will add authenticity to the story," a source shared, confirming that Salman will be present from the first day of shoot.
The next leg of filming will shift to Ladakh, where the team is preparing for more physically demanding sequences. 'Salman has been in prep mode for the role since May," another insider told the publication. The Ladakh schedule reportedly involves night shoots, combat training, and full-scale battle sequences.
Speaking earlier about his preparation for the role, Salman admitted it has been tough on his body. 'It's physically intense. With each passing year, month, and day, it becomes more challenging. I have to invest a lot more time now. Earlier, I could get into shape in just a week or two, but this time I'm running, kicking, punching — doing it all," he said.
Battle of Galwan is tentatively scheduled for a May 2026 release, although an official announcement is still awaited.

Lessons from a tea ceremony, ‘gong fu' style
Gift this article On Instagram, I stumbled upon the @theteadrunk, and was pleasantly surprised to find another teahead in Bengaluru. What's more, he was hosting a gong fu tea session. Gong fu is a Chinese style of tea brewing, and is well suited for speciality teas, but rather uncommon in India. On Instagram, I stumbled upon the @theteadrunk, and was pleasantly surprised to find another teahead in Bengaluru. What's more, he was hosting a gong fu tea session. Gong fu is a Chinese style of tea brewing, and is well suited for speciality teas, but rather uncommon in India. So last Saturday, I made my way to Sai Karthik (The Tea Drunk) and his wife Maitreyee Bezbaroa's home for an evening of tea, gong fu style. 'I started exploring tea about six years ago and organically moved towards eastern brewing practices because they offered much greater precision in brewing tea," he says. It took him to a tea master in Malaysia, who introduced him to the specifics of gong fu brewing and trained him. Early this year, Karthik began hosting tea-tasting sessions 'to offer folks a glimpse into tea appreciation." It packs in his learnings, and he generously opens his enviable collection of tea to others. By the time I arrived, the gong fu tray was set up, the gooseneck kettle on the ready, the Yixing teapot, the lidded gaiwan bowl, the little cups, and even a Japanese kyusu teapot, were all laid out. Also Read | India's very own tea ceremony We began with a peony white from Arya tea estate in Darjeeling, a tea that was wonderfully easy to like, followed by a very tippy black tea from Rujani tea in Assam. This was a familiar favourite for me, but again, I was struck by its sweetness, and how a great Assam black tea needs nothing else to embellish it. With each tea, Karthik shared information about the tea itself, where it came from and what made it worth our time. Bezbaroa had paired the teas with wagashi-style (traditional Japanese confections) small eats, which began with a pandan-coconut jelly followed by some hojicha and chai mochi, chosen to complement the tea. The oolong was the big middle and Karthik had planned this part with three Chinese classics—beginning with the Tie Guan Yin (on the greenish end of the scale) to the Phoenix Dancong (a Duckshit Snowflake that I had enjoyed once and found that I still enjoyed just as much as before) ending with the darker Wuyi rock oolong with its deeply earthy mineral notes. These were paired with a nutty mango tart. For each of these teas, we did about three steeps, and it gave us plenty of room to pause and take in the spectrum we had covered, along with general chatter and getting to know everyone who had gathered for tea. 'I wanted to contribute to developing Bengaluru's tea scene. We've hosted 12 sessions so far," says Karthik. The last tea for the day was a green, specifically a Japanese gyokuro, with a nice big hit of umami paired with an Assamese koldil (banana flower) curry pufflet. I had wondered about the three hours for a tea session, but emerging three hours and several cups of tea later, it made sense. It made for a most enjoyable evening, not too demanding if one is unfamiliar and with plenty to discover about tea.
