Salman Khan's upcoming film is titled "Battle of Galwan." The makers shared a teaser for the film on December 27, 2025, the actor's birthday. This sparked controversy. The teaser was criticized by China's state-run media outlet, Global Times, claiming that the film distorts facts. The film, "Battle of Galwan," is based on the 2020 military clash in the Galwan Valley on the India-China border. The film is being directed by Apoorva Lakhia.

Salman Khan will appear as an army officer in the movie. This is also evident from the teaser, as he is fighting the Chinese army. Chitrangada Singh will act alongside Salman Khan. The movie will hit the screens on April 17.
