Release of Salman Khan's Film 'Battle of Galwan' in Jeopardy

According to a Bollywood Hungama report, the set release date for the Salman Khan starrer 'Battle of Galwan' was April 17, but makers are now considering a postponement. The reason is incomplete shooting and lengthy reshoots. Industry sources say the team won't compromise on quality.

'Battle of Galwan' Shooting Is Not Yet Complete

A new week-long shoot schedule is about to start at Mumbai's Golden Tobacco Factory. Even after that, a few days of shooting will remain. It's expected to wrap up by the end of February, after which editing of the reshot portions will begin.

Defense Ministry Screening Could Take Time

Since the film is based on the Galwan Valley clash, it must be shown to the Ministry of Defence as per regulations. This process could take time, pushing the post-production schedule back even further. That's why an April release is looking tough.
