The Battle of Galwan will be Salman Khan's next appearance after AR Murugadoss' Sikandar. The makers unveiled film's dramatic opening shot, which showed the actor bleeding. The first glimpse of the war drama, inspired by real-life events excited Khan's fans. It has now been disclosed that Chitrangda Singh will portray the female lead alongside the superstar, launching a fresh pair, while the rest of the cast has been under wraps.

The Battle of Galwan director Apoorva Lakhia revealed that he always wanted to work with Singh. "I've always wanted to work with Chitrangda since I watched her amazing performance in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and then Bob Biswas." Based on real-life events near the India-China border, this war drama is Salman and Chitrangda's first joint project.

Apoorva Lakhia, who is renowned for his harsh and intense storytelling, commended Chitrangda's skill and on-screen persona, emphasizing that she was the ideal fit for the part. "He added, "We're thrilled to welcome Chitrangda Singh to the cast of Battle of Galwan. Chitrangda brings a rare blend of strength and sensitivity to the screen as her feminine side will match perfectly with Salman Sir’s brooding but quiet strength."

The Battle of Galwan is based on actual events that took place in June 2020, when Chinese and Indian troops engaged in combat in the isolated, high-altitude Galwan Valley of Ladakh. Constrained by long-standing accords that forbade firearms, the altercation became one of the worst border clashes in more than four decades. The Indian Army displayed incredible bravery by fighting hand-to-hand with improvised weapons like twigs and stones in the face of overwhelming odds and harsh circumstances.

Battle of Galwan is expected to be one of the year's most anticipated movies due to its intriguing subject matter and innovative casting. With Chitrangda Singh joining the ensemble and Salman Khan headlining the cast, expectations are extremely high. It is planned to start filming later this year.
