Salman Khan Shares BTS Pic From Battle Of Galwan Set
On Tuesday, Salman gave fans a sneak peek from the set. He posted on Instagram the first look of his character with a simple caption: “#BattleOfGalwan.”
The picture shows Salman in a full army uniform with a thick moustache and an intense gaze. A clapperboard partially covers his face, showing “Shot 1” to mark the start of filming. The blurred background suggests the rugged landscape of Leh, where the team is shooting. Salman’s expression sets the tone for the patriotic drama.
Why Are Makers Filming Climax First?
Reports say the makers are filming the climax first in Ladakh. The unpredictable weather in the region is the main reason.
According to India Today, “Galwan’s climax is among the most important parts of the film, both visually and emotionally. Given Leh and Ladakh’s unpredictable weather, the makers want to ensure the quality of these sequences is not compromised. That is why they are planning to complete as much as possible during this schedule itself.”
The climax scenes will take two to three weeks to complete. They are expected to be action-packed and emotionally intense, forming the heart of the story.
Fans are curious if Salman’s filming will affect his weekend hosting duties on Bigg Boss 19. He has not confirmed if he will miss any episodes of Weekend Ka Vaar, leaving viewers waiting.
