Salman Khan's Battle Of Galwan Faces Delay, April 17 Release Doubtful
Salman Khan's highly anticipated war drama, Battle Of Galwan, is likely to be postponed from its scheduled April 17, 2026, release date. According to sources, the film's shoot is still underway, and reshoots are taking longer than expected. A one-week schedule has been planned starting February 9 in Mumbai's Golden Tobacco Factory, with a few more days of shooting left, aiming for a wrap-up by February-end.
The delay is attributed to the need for additional editing and approval from the Ministry of Defence, which might take time. Salman Khan is reportedly keen on ensuring the film's quality and doesn't want to rush the process. The makers are considering alternative release dates, with June 2026 being a possibility.
Battle Of Galwan is based on the true events of the 2020 India-China border clash in Galwan Valley, starring Salman Khan as Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu. The film also features Chitrangda Singh and Ankur Bhatia in key roles. Given the film's patriotic theme and Salman Khan's popularity, fans are eagerly awaiting its release.
