Production for Salman Khan‘s highly anticipated war drama, Battle of Galwan, has entered its next major phase. The superstar was recently spotted at the Mumbai airport leaving for Ladakh to join the film’s crucial shooting schedule. Videos that went viral showed Salman surrounded by tight security, including his Z-category protection team, as he headed out for the shoot.
The film, which dramatizes the 2020 clash in the Galwan Valley, has been generating significant buzz since its announcement. The start of the Ladakh schedule marks a critical step in bringing the story to the big screen.
Mumbai Studio Shoot Cancelled For Authenticity
In a significant update, reports indicate that the production team made a major decision to prioritize realism over convenience. Originally, elaborate sets were constructed at Mumbai’s Mehboob Studios to film parts of the movie. However, sources claim this schedule was cancelled at the last minute, and the sets were dismantled.
The decision was made because director Apoorva Lakhia felt that the high-altitude action sequences needed to be shot continuously on location in Ladakh. This approach aims to preserve the authenticity and narrative flow of the intense war scenes.
Challenges Of Filming In Ladakh
Shooting in Ladakh presents unique difficulties for the cast and crew. Salman Khan has previously spoken about the physical demands of filming in such extreme conditions. The team will face challenges that include performing stunts in cold water and adapting to high-altitude environments.
Despite the difficulties, the move to shoot on location shows the team’s dedication to making Battle of Galwan a large-scale, impactful film. The project promises a mix of patriotic storytelling and intense action sequences.
