Why Was Salman Khan’s Film Delayed?
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film was initially titled ‘Battle Of Galwan’. It is based on the 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley.
The makers had originally planned to release the film in April. However, the date was pushed back, with other possible windows, including the Independence Day weekend, reportedly considered along the way. The film still did not reach theatres during those periods.
Before receiving the necessary government clearances, the project reportedly faced hurdles over its subject, content and references to China. These concerns emerged amid changing diplomatic relations between the two countries.
