Salman Khan's training details for war drama
India Today reported that the team is shooting in high-altitude in Leh, and to achieve the physical demands of portraying a decorated Army officer like Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu, Salman has begun an intense training regimen.
"He’s not just preparing to carry the weight of the uniform - he’s carrying the weight of the story. The AK-47 he’ll be seen with is symbolic, but the real test is enduring the thinner air, long shoots, and rugged terrain. This prep isn’t just physical; it’s about doing justice to a national hero," the source added.
The source further said, "Salman is approaching this role with the utmost sincerity. He understands the responsibility of portraying someone like Colonel Babu - it’s not just about getting the physicality right; it’s about honouring a legacy."
It also mentioned that Salman is training not just for the camera, but out of respect for every soldier who serves the nation.

About the 2020 Galwan Valley clash
The 2020 Galwan Valley clash was a ruthless confrontation between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh's Galwan Valley on June 15, 2020, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 Indian soldiers. It was the deadliest military clash between the two countries in nearly 50 years. The clash was sparked by tensions over border disputes and infrastructure projects, particularly the construction of a road in the Galwan River Valley.
According to an earlier Bollywood Hungama report, the movie is said to be based on the novel 'India's Most Fearless 3' by Rahul Singh and Shiv Aroor. The epic film will be directed by Apoorva Lakhia and is expected to go on floors in the second half of 2025.
