About the film
Last week, Salman shared the first look motion poster on his X account and tagged the crew of the film in the caption. The patriotic drama will be centered around the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops. The poster saw Salman with bloodstains on his face, donning an army uniform with a fierce expression in his eyes. The motion poster also included the line: 'Over 15,000 feet above sea level, India fought its most brutal battle without firing a single bullet.'
The film will be helmed by director Apoorva Lakhia, and produced by Salman Khan Films. Himesh Reshammiya will be the music composer of the film. The release date of the film is yet to be announced.
Salman was last seen in the action drama film Sikandar, in which he starred alongside Rashmika Mandanna. The film was directed by AR Murugadoss. It underperformed at the box office.
