Inspired by a Real Incident
The story of the film is based on the violent clash at Galwan Valley that took place between June 15 and 16, 2020, where 20 Indian soldiers were martyred in a confrontation with Chinese troops. The film will be adapted from the novel “India’s Most Fearless 3”, which documents the heroic moments from this tragic yet historic event.
This marks one of the few Indian films centered around the India-China border conflict, as most war dramas in Indian cinema have focused on Pakistan.

The film is scheduled to be shot in real locations including Mumbai and Ladakh, with an estimated 80-day shooting schedule. Filming is expected to begin in the next two months. Given the sensitive and patriotic theme, the movie is likely to be shot with authentic visuals and realistic portrayals of army life and war scenes.
More Than Just Salman Khan
Salman won’t be the only major name in the cast—three more actors will join him in key roles, though their names are yet to be officially announced. This ensemble is expected to bring depth and intensity to the story, especially considering the emotional and political weight of the real-life events.
