The wait is finally over, and the roar of patriotism is echoing loud. The teaser of ‘Battle of Galwan’ has been unveiled, and fans are calling it nothing less than the “trumpet of victory.”

December 27 turned extra special as Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Salman Khan, celebrated his 60th birthday. While fans flooded social media with love and wishes, Salman surprised everyone with a powerful return gift. Though reports earlier suggested that ‘Kick 2’ would be announced on his birthday, Salman went a step ahead and dropped the intense teaser of his upcoming war drama ‘Battle of Galwan’, instantly doubling the excitement among fans.

Salman Khan in a Fierce Army Avatar

After the underwhelming response to ‘Sikandar’, Salman Khan has gone all out for ‘Battle of Galwan’. Playing the role of an Indian Army officer, he underwent extreme physical preparation—training in icy waters and shooting at the high-altitude terrains of Ladakh. While his first-look poster hinted at this transformation, the teaser makes it absolutely clear: this is Salman Khan like never before.

Released on Salman Khan’s X (formerly Twitter) handle, the teaser shows him confronting enemies without guns, armed only with a stick—true to the reality of the Galwan clash. His intense expressions, piercing eyes, and commanding presence as he signals his team create spine-chilling moments that stay with you long after the teaser ends.

A Tribute to the 2020 Galwan Clash

Fan reactions have been overwhelmingly emotional and proud. One user commented, “Finally, the trumpet of success has sounded!” Another wrote, “Jai Hind! Bhaijaan couldn’t have given a better birthday surprise.” Many called the teaser a powerful tribute to Colonel B. Santosh Babu and the brave Indian soldiers who laid down their lives for the nation.

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, ‘Battle of Galwan’ is based on the real-life 2020 India-China conflict, where soldiers from both sides fought in brutal hand-to-hand combat using sticks and stones, as firearms were not permitted. Salman Khan essays the role of martyr Colonel B. Santosh Babu, bringing one of the most courageous chapters of Indian military history to the big screen.

Release Date & Star Cast

The film marks the first-ever on-screen pairing of Salman Khan and Chitrangada Singh. This high-octane war drama is scheduled to hit theatres on April 17, 2026. With patriotism, sacrifice, and raw intensity at its core, ‘Battle of Galwan’ is shaping up to be one of Salman Khan’s most impactful films ever—and his 60th birthday gift that fans will remember for years.
