Another Movie? Battle Of Galwan: Salman Khan announces his next film Battle Of Galwan, fans say, ‘Aa gaya toofaan’

[Maira La]

The fact that they wanna make a movie about one of India´s biggest low-lights is shameless and hilarious at the same time...

Indians have this habit of making movies about battles they lost.. e.g. at Panipat the tropical Marathas got their asses handed to them by the Durranis, and they made a movie on this battle were the Marathas finally evened the score.. some kind of extreme coping mechanism I guess.

Dhruv Rathee claims Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi was reshot to soften China portrayal​

New Delhi,Oct 12, 2026 11:03 IST

YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has alleged that political pressure is affecting the release of Salman Khan’s upcoming film Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, which was originally titled Battle of Galwan. Rathee claimed that the film underwent reshoots because the government did not want the makers to portray China negatively.

A clip of Rathee discussing the film during a recent press conference in Delhi on October 11 has gone viral on social media, drawing reactions from users and Salman Khan fans.

Speaking about the film, Rathee alleged that the government was reluctant to allow a film critical of China to be released in its original form. He claimed that the makers were asked to reshoot portions and present China in a more favourable light.

"Salman Khan ki film ki poori reshooting karwai gayi aur ye kaha gaya, ‘Nahi, nahi, isko China ke favour mein karo. Hum uske itne against nahi ja sakte’ (The entire film was reshot, and they were told, ‘No, no, make it favourable to China. We cannot go so strongly against them')," Rathee added.



Rathee went on to accuse the government of being afraid of China, the United States and Elon Musk. He contrasted this with his own position, saying he was an individual who openly expressed his views on YouTube and was not connected to any political group.

Why not cast Aamir Khan as the lead actor?

To be honest, Salman Khan's movies are full of promotional hype. for example "Tigers and women". "Sending a girl child home". The promotion is fine. But deliberately belittling another country at the same time... Constantly promoting India's justice and morality... It makes people forget that in reality, this is a country of child prostitution.

Following the lacklustre performance of Sikandar at the box office, superstar Salman Khan announced his next project on Friday. Salman revealed the first look of the Bollywood film Battle of Galwan, sparking excitement among fans.

Salman took to Instagram to share a motion poster of Battle of Galwan. In the poster, he appears bloodstained, with cuts on his face and hands, gripping a thorn-covered wooden stick. The actor sports a moustache and a fierce expression, his eyes burning with intensity. The motion poster features the line: “Over 15,000 ft. above sea level, India fought its most brutal battle without firing a single bullet.”

Fans expressed their excitement for the actor’s upcoming project in the comments section of the post. “Aa gaya toofaan,” a user wrote. Another comment read, “Salman is back .” A fan commented, “Box office todd dega, so excited!”

In Battle of Galwan, Salman Khan is said to be playing Colonel B Santosh Babu, the officer who led 16 Bihar regiments during the 2020 Galwan Valley clash with Chinese soldiers.

Before the first look reveal, Salman was spotted in Mumbai sporting a thick moustache, sparking curiosity among fans about his next project. In fact, just a day earlier, he shared an intense photo of himself on social media, prompting speculation that he was teasing his upcoming film.

About Galwan Valley cash​

On June 15 last year, Ladakh’s Galwan Valley witnessed a violent clash between the Armies of India and China. The clash, in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed, was one of the worst in 45 years, and led to a military standoff with China and at least 11 rounds of military talks for the disengagement process.

The Chinese beat the shit out of them during this. .

These guys were treated even better in the Chinese POW camps than they had been in the Indian army camps.

The bigger question is would they hire a chinese actress or an indian actresss for a sexy little dance number in the middle of Galwan?
My hope/vote is for the Indian. No one wants to see some skinny Chinese dancing in Galwan; we need a big old Indian lady.
