Just a day after Akshay Kumar announced that Bhooth Bangla will be preponed for April 10 release, there was speculation that Salman Khan’s Battle of Galwan has been pushed for Independence Day. However, the latest buzz is that the makers are indeed convinced about the Eid release and might shift the date only if they cannot keep up with the timeline. The insider said, “It’s all speculation stemming from talk that the film may need a clearance from the Ministry of Defence. The makers are aiming for an Eid release. If they are unable to meet it, they’ll line it up for Independence Day.” This means that if Battle of Galwan post-production can be completed in under a month, then the movie might release by April itself. An official confirmation from director Apoorva Lakhia is still awaited.
