Salman Shares BTS from Battle of Galwan
Earlier this week, Salman Khan shared a behind-the-scenes picture from the sets of Battle of Galwan. In the still, he was seen peeking through the clapperboard while dressed in combat fatigues featuring the old Personal Camouflage Disruptive Pattern Material (PC DPM) uniform.
For context, PC DPM was phased out after the Galwan stand-off of 2020–2021 and replaced by the Indian Army’s New Battle Dress Uniform (NBDU) of the INCAM (Indian National Camouflage), which was officially unveiled on January 15, 2022, during the 74th Army Day Parade in New Delhi.
The Real Battle of Galwan
The Battle of Galwan refers to the violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in 2020. Due to restrictions on firearms, soldiers fought using sticks and stones, resulting in the first fatalities in the Sino-Indian border conflict in nearly 45 years.
Music & Release Details
Himesh Reshamiya has been brought on board as the music composer for the film. However, the release date for Battle of Galwan has not yet been announced.
