Salman Khan's Battle of Galwan Teaser Triggers Attention From China

Mumbai, December 30 - The recently released teaser of superstar Salman Khan's war drama Battle of Galwan has managed to trigger attention from China. The movie, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, also stars Chitrangda Singh as the female lead alongside Zeyn Shaw, Ankur Bhatia, and Vipin Bhardwaj.

The teaser is getting mixed reactions from Indian users, and at the same time, China's mouthpiece, Global Times, has reacted to the film, citing Chinese expert views. The movie is based on the events that took place between the Indian and Chinese troops at the Galwan region in June 2020, when 200 Indian soldiers bravely defended their territory against a force of 1200 Chinese Liberation Army soldiers.

As per the Global Times, a Chinese expert said on Monday that "Bollywood films at most provide an entertainment-driven, emotionally charged portrayal, but no amount of cinematic exaggeration can rewrite history or shake the PLA's determination to defend China's sovereign territory".

Produced by Salman Khan Films, Battle of Galwan features Salman Khan as Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu of the Bihar Regiment, who led his life defending the Indian territory. The film is scheduled to release on April 17, 2026, in the theatres worldwide, as one of the marquee Indian releases of the year.
