Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is gearing up for his most intense role yet in an upcoming war drama directed by Apoorva Lakhia (Shootout at Lokhandwala, Mission Istanbul). The film, based on the acclaimed book India’s Most Fearless, will depict the heroic 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops.
Salman will step into the shoes of Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu, the courageous commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment who made the ultimate sacrifice during the violent standoff. This marks a significant departure from the actor’s typical masala roles, as he aims to deliver a powerful tribute to India’s armed forces through a performance filled with grit and emotion.
The project holds special significance as it brings to life one of recent history’s most defining military confrontations. With Salman’s massive star power and Lakhia’s experience in action-packed storytelling, the film is expected to create waves both commercially and critically.
Pre-production is currently underway, with shooting likely to commence soon. As details emerge, anticipation continues to build for what could be one of Salman Khan’s most impactful performances to date.
