Salman Khan is all set to head back into battle, this time with the patriotic military action drama, reportedly based on the India-China Galwan Valley clash in 2020.
According to the latest buzz, the film has found its leading lady in Chitrangda Singh, India Today reports.
This will mark the actress' first time collaborating with Khan and sharing screen space.
The untitled film is said to be based on the Galwan chapter from the book India's Most Fearless 3 by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh. Salman will reportedly portray Colonel B. Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment, who led Indian troops during the Galwan conflict.

At the time, Chitrangda was the ambassador of Salman's brother, Sohail Khan's CCL (Celebrity Cricket League) team.

Maareesan box office prediction day 1: Fahadh Faasil's Tamil comedy thriller likely to earn Rs 5 crore in India
Maareesan box office prediction day 1: Maareesan, starring Fahadh Faasil, is set to hit the screens on July 25, and this has created a buzz in the industry. The comedy thriller has become the talk of Kollywood as it will see the Vikram star share screen space with Vadivelu for the second time. They were last seen together in the well received Maamannan (2023). This excitement is set to help Maareesan open to a good response at the Indian box office. Maareesan set to open well in India Fahadh Faasil is in the limelight because of his latest Tamil film Maareesan. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the comedy thriller is likely to collect Rs 5 crore (nett) in India on the first day. 'For this film, I feel a collection of Rs 5 crore is possible. Of this Rs 3 crore will come from Tamil Nadu. On the other hand, Kerala will contribute around Rs 1 crore as it is Fahadh's home state,' he told Indiatimes. If this prediction holds, Maareesan will fail to beat Maamannan. The Maari Selvaraj-directed political thriller earned Rs 8.5 crore on the first day and went on to emerge as a commercial success. Maareesan is Fahadh Faasil's fourth Tamil film. He previously appeared in Super Deluxe, Vikram and of course Maamannan. Maareesan OTT release: Where to watch after its run in theatres Maareesan will premiere on Netflix after its run in theatres. The platform acquired its rights a while ago. While the exact date is yet to be revealed, it may premiere on the platform nearly four weeks after hitting the screens tomorrow. This means we can expect it on OTT by the end of August. About Maareesan Maareesan is an upcoming Tamil comedy-thriller directed by Sudheesh Sankar, with Fahadh Faasil in the lead. It centres on Dhaya, a small-time thief who chances upon an elderly man, Velayudham (played by Vadivelu) and comes up with a plan to con him. Fate, however, has other plans as the two develop a bond during a road trip across Tamil Nadu. Kovai Sarala plays a key role in the film, adding another layer to the plot. The music is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

There are so many actors and actresses in Indian cinema who tasted failure first and then became superstars. These actors are celebrated even today. A similar story is with this actor, who gave 11 flop films, after which he was left unemployed. However, one call changed his life, and this actor landed a blockbuster film. Not just that, this man even married his co-actress. Meet the Actor Who Gave 11 Flop Films Imagine an actor being called a superstar and still giving 11 flops. Yes, you read that right! If you are wondering who we are talking about, then this actor is none other than Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan's Flop Films There was a time when Amitabh gave 11 flop films. This tarnished the actor's reputation and even left him unemployed. The Movie That Changed Amitabh Bachchan's Life During Amitabh's tough time, a phone call changed his life. The movie that saved Amitabh's career was Zanjeer. Written by the iconic duo Salim-Javed, Zanjeer made Amitabh a star. Javed Akhtar told in an interview with Hook Global that he and Salim can never take full credit for Amitabh Bachchan's image as an 'angry young man.' But he did admit that they had to struggle a lot to get Amitabh Bachchan to do Zanjeer. At that time, Big B's market value had taken a hit after 11 flops. Javed also appreciated Amitabh's acting skills. While referring to Jaya Bachchan, Javed Akhtar said, 'Jaya was not his wife then. But she respected his talent. At that time, he had stayed at home, but Jaya was with him and respected his work. The same thing was with Hrishikesh Mukherjee; he also respected her. He was constantly giving her work.' Let us tell you that Jaya and Amitabh got married after Zanjeer.
