Abbas Zafar Praises Salman Khan's Fan Power After Battle Of Galwan Motion Poster Goes Viral
Last Updated: Salman Khan's fierce new avatar in the motion poster of Battle of Galwan has taken fans by storm. Salman Khan has once again seized the spotlight, this time with the electrifying unveiling of the motion poster for his upcoming film Battle of Galwan. Set amidst the brutal, icy terrain of Ladakh, the film will bring to life one of India's most unforgettable military standoffs — a high-altitude confrontation fought without a single bullet being fired. The motion poster, released earlier this week, reveals Khan in a striking new avatar — a bloodied yet unbreakable army officer, eyes blazing with quiet fury and resilience. Backed by a haunting and powerful score, the first look evokes intense emotion and pride, hinting at the gravity and heroism that the film intends to capture. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film marks another chapter in the successful creative partnership between the filmmaker and Salman Khan, following hits like Sultan and Bharat. Speaking about Salman's larger-than-life persona and his unique connection with audiences, Zafar said, 'Sagar khamoshi me sagar hi rehta hai… lehron se kehta hai woh zinda hai… he has the most earnest and powerful fan base." His words underline the actor's ability to move masses not just with his stardom but with the emotion and integrity he brings to the screen. Battle of Galwan is already being dubbed as one of the most anticipated films in Salman Khan's illustrious career. Its subject — a tribute to the indomitable courage and restraint of Indian soldiers stationed in some of the world's most treacherous conditions — sets it apart from conventional war dramas. Unlike most tales of battle, this film chooses to honor a moment of conflict where valor wasn't measured in gunfire, but in grit, endurance, and human spirit. The release date for Battle of Galwan has yet to be announced, but the buzz is undeniable. With its compelling narrative, emotional depth, and Salman Khan's magnetic screen presence, the film is poised to strike a powerful chord with audiences across the country. First Published:

After creating buzz with Sikandar, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is ready to return to the silver screen with the intense war drama Battle of Galwan.

Set against the backdrop of the 2020 Galwan Valley standoff, the film recounts a brutal clash where Indian soldiers, restricted from using firearms due to protocols, engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with Chinese troops. The incident, marked by the use of stones and makeshift weapons, was the first to result in fatalities on the Indo-China border in over four decades, becoming a defining moment in recent military history. The film will also feature Chitrangada Singh as the female lead, alongside Khan. Music for the film is being composed by Himesh Reshammiya, adding emotional and patriotic depth to the narrative. Additionally, three young actors are reportedly cast as part of Khan's squad, suggesting a story rich in camaraderie and sacrifice. While the release date for Battle of Galwan is yet to be announced, the first visuals and storyline have already begun to generate major buzz across social media and cinema circles. In related news, fans can also look forward to another exciting reunion as Salman Khan is expected to share screen space once again with his Saajan co-star Sanjay Dutt in a forthcoming film reportedly titled Ganga Ram. With Battle of Galwan, Salman Khan appears set to blend action, patriotism, and intense drama in what could be one of his most powerful roles in recent times.

Why Does Salman Khan Have A No-Kiss Policy For Films? Arbaaz Khan Said, 'Kar Lete Hain Off Screen'
Last Updated: Salman Khan even reportedly refused to kiss ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif on screen. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is known for many things—his blockbuster hits, philanthropic work, fitness regime, and his unique choices in cinema. One of the most talked-about aspects of his on-screen persona is his long-standing 'no-kiss" policy. Unlike many of his contemporaries in the film industry, Salman has consistently refused to perform kissing scenes on-screen, regardless of the storyline or the demands of the role. During Salman Khan's old appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show with Arbaaz and Sohail Khan, host Kapil Sharma poked fun at Salman's 'no-kissing" rule. Salman Khan, 'Dekho kiss toh main karta nahi screen pe toh mujhe toh koi farak padta nai." However, it was Arbaaz Khan's reaction that caught everyone's attention and left them in splits. Arbaaz Khan quipped, 'Woh itna kar lete hain off-screen ki zaroorat hi nahi padti!" Even Salman couldn't help but blush at his brother's remark. Some believe that Salman Khan broke his rule for Karisma Kapoor in Jeet. However, others argue that Salman only kissed the actress's chin, and that he has never budged from his policy. In 2017, Salman Khan was asked to film a kissing scene with Katrina Kaif for Tiger Zinda Hai. However, the actor reportedly refused. Deccan Chronicle had quoted a source as saying, 'Everyone felt that just this one time, just once, Salman would break his no-kissing code because the sequence is vital to the plot and also because, well, it's Katrina. But Salman refused outright. Director Ali Abbas Zafar tried his best to convince him. However, nothing worked. The scene has been dropped now." Meanwhile, Salman Khan's upcoming film Battle of Galwan has ignited massive buzz online with its powerful first look. Unveiled on Friday, the motion poster shows Salman in a bloodied, battle-worn avatar, clad in uniform, with an intense moustache and fierce patriotism radiating from his expression. The project is being widely hailed as his long-awaited comeback after the underwhelming response to his last film, Sikandar. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Battle of Galwan is based on true events. The release date and full cast details are still under wraps, but the first look has already struck an emotional chord. The Galwan Valley clash, which took place on June 15, 2020, was a deadly skirmish between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh. Colonel B Santosh Babu, who led the 16 Bihar regiment, is reportedly the real-life figure Salman portrays in the film. First Published:
