On July 4, Salman unveiled the first look poster on social media, where he appears in a bloodied, snow dusted uniform, gripping a barbed weapon, with a thick moustache.
The film also stars Zeyn Shaw, Ankur Bhatia, Harshil Shah, Heera Sohall, Abhilash Chaudhary, and Vipin Bhardwaj.
While the release date is yet to be confirmed, the film is slated to begin shooting from July 2025 and this marks a significant first for Salman, as he will portray an army officer in a full fledged role for the very first time in his career. Pinkvilla quoted the insider, “Apoorva Lakhia and Salman Khan are all set to start shooting for the film from July 2025. The film will be shot in Ladakh and Mumbai, over a period of 70-days starting July. It features Salman Khan as an army officer in a full fledged film for the first time in his career, and he will be joined by 3 other actors from the younger generation.”
The Galwan Valley clash in 2020 was a deadly confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley, a disputed border region in Ladakh, India. The clash, which occurred on June 15, resulted in casualties on both sides marking the first fatalities in the Sino-Indian border conflict in nearly 45 years. The fighting involved hand-to-hand combat using sticks and stones, as firearms were prohibited in the area.
