Galwan: Salman Doing Damage Control After Backlash?

Salman Khan has reportedly returned to the sets of his upcoming war drama Battle of Galwan for an additional patch shoot. The new schedule is said to last 15 days.

According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, an insider revealed that Salman Khan, director Apoorva Lakhia, and the team are working on patchwork. A few new scenes are also being added, including action sequences.

The source stated that this patch shoot was always part of the plan. The makers and Salman felt these scenes were crucial to the narrative and would strengthen the film’s overall impact.

Salman Khan is reportedly keen to ensure that Battle of Galwan delivers a strong viewing experience. He is said to be putting in extra hours to make sure the film meets expectations.

The insider also mentioned that the team has sufficient time to make changes. The film’s release is nearly three months away, and the makers are confident it will be ready well before its scheduled release on April 17.

Despite the excitement around new action scenes, several viewers are questioning the timing of these changes. Many are wondering why modifications are being made so close to the release.

Some social media users speculate that the makers are attempting damage control. This comes after the first song, Maatrubhumi, released on January 24, received backlash for Salman Khan’s lethargic screen presence.

There is no official confirmation on which portions of the film are being altered. However, viewers feel that a 15 day schedule suggests notable changes to the final cut.

Attention has now shifted to the theatrical trailer. Audiences are waiting to see if it can change the mixed early perception surrounding the film.

Battle of Galwan is scheduled to release on April 17, 2026. The film stars Salman Khan alongside Chitrangda Singh and is inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers.
