Salman Khan, who will soon be seen in Battle of Galwan in the role inspired by Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu MVC, addressed the trolling around his look. In doing so, the actor might have taken a dig at Sunny Deol’s impact from Border 2 trailer. Interestingly, years ago, Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol also had a falling out. Here’s everything you need to know…
During his time at ISL 2026 in Surat, Salman Khan addressed the trolling for his look in Battle of Galwan. The look was considered ‘romantic’ and Salman confirmed that he didn’t want to be loud and thus, he went with the subtle look. “Ab kisi ko yeh samajh mein aata hai ki ye romantic look hai, lekin Colonel hoon bhaiyya. Toh yeh, Colonel ka look hai jo ki samajhta hai ki apne team walon ko, apne jawaano ko kaisa honsla de.”
Without taking his name, Salman Khan seems to have taken a dig at Sunny Deol, who got famous for Border 2 after making a loud noise in the trailer. Right from his look to his voice and dialogue, everything was loud. Salman, on the other hand, kept it subtle. This has been mistaken as a romantic look. Addressing how he would rather keep his look simple, Salman added, “Waise hi look main inko bhi de sakta hoon (growls). Uss look ka koi matlab hai nahi.” This, netizens have assumed to be a direct dig at Sunny Deol in Border 2.

Years ago, Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol had a fallout. This happened on the sets of Darr, where Deol claimed that SRK got his scenes edited to steal the spotlight. The fallout led to them not working in a movie again. Almost two decades after, Deol addressed the topic and claimed that the two actors are now on cordial terms.
