Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of his next movie, ‘Battle of Galwan’. The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, revolves around the fierce 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese forces in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley. Salman recently shared how physically demanding his character is in the movie.Salman Khan talks about his role in Battle of Galwan“It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I have to give more time now. Earlier, I would manage it in one or two weeks, but now I’m running, kicking, punching, and doing all that stuff. This film demands that. For instance, in Sikandar, the action was different, the character was different. But this is physically difficult—especially shooting in Ladakh, at high altitudes and in cold water,” he told PTI.Salman admitted he was initially excited about the concept but acknowledged the tough conditions ahead.“I have 20 days in Ladakh and then seven to eight days in cold water. We will be shooting this month,” he added.Salman is known for bringing his films to the big screen during Eid, but this time he admitted that Battle of Galwan will grace theatres in January.
Khan also confirmed that a follow-up to his 2015 blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan is currently in development.Salman Khan’s recent release SikandarSalman Khan’s last film, Sikandar, which hit theatres during Eid (30 March), did not perform well at the box office.
