Abbas Zafar Praises Salman Khan's Fan Power After Battle Of Galwan Motion Poster Goes Viral
Last Updated: Salman Khan's fierce new avatar in the motion poster of Battle of Galwan has taken fans by storm. Salman Khan has once again seized the spotlight, this time with the electrifying unveiling of the motion poster for his upcoming film Battle of Galwan. Set amidst the brutal, icy terrain of Ladakh, the film will bring to life one of India's most unforgettable military standoffs — a high-altitude confrontation fought without a single bullet being fired. The motion poster, released earlier this week, reveals Khan in a striking new avatar — a bloodied yet unbreakable army officer, eyes blazing with quiet fury and resilience. Backed by a haunting and powerful score, the first look evokes intense emotion and pride, hinting at the gravity and heroism that the film intends to capture. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film marks another chapter in the successful creative partnership between the filmmaker and Salman Khan, following hits like Sultan and Bharat. Speaking about Salman's larger-than-life persona and his unique connection with audiences, Zafar said, 'Sagar khamoshi me sagar hi rehta hai… lehron se kehta hai woh zinda hai… he has the most earnest and powerful fan base." His words underline the actor's ability to move masses not just with his stardom but with the emotion and integrity he brings to the screen. Battle of Galwan is already being dubbed as one of the most anticipated films in Salman Khan's illustrious career. Its subject — a tribute to the indomitable courage and restraint of Indian soldiers stationed in some of the world's most treacherous conditions — sets it apart from conventional war dramas. Unlike most tales of battle, this film chooses to honor a moment of conflict where valor wasn't measured in gunfire, but in grit, endurance, and human spirit. The release date for Battle of Galwan has yet to be announced, but the buzz is undeniable. With its compelling narrative, emotional depth, and Salman Khan's magnetic screen presence, the film is poised to strike a powerful chord with audiences across the country. First Published:
