Against daunting odds and extreme conditions, the Indian Army showed extraordinary courage, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with makeshift weapons like stones and sticks. Battle of Galwan is shaping up to be one of the most awaited films of the year, not only for its compelling subject but also for its fresh casting choices. With Salman Khan leading the cast and Chitrangda Singh joining the ensemble, expectations are sky-high. The filming is set to begin later this year.
