China Rattled by Salman Khan's 'Battle of Galwan': Beijing Slams Teaser as 'Distortion of Facts'

In this Special Report, India Today’s Associate Editor Sana Farzeen analyses the controversy surrounding Salman Khan’s upcoming film, ‘Battle of Galwan’. Beijing has reacted sharply to the film’s teaser, released on the superstar’s 60th birthday, calling it ‘over-the-top drama’ and alleging a ‘distortion of facts’. Farzeen notes, ‘It's just amusing that how the film has already been touted to distort facts’ given that only a teaser is out. The film, set for release in April 2026, depicts the 2020 Galwan Valley clash where Indian soldiers fought Chinese troops. The report highlights how the film celebrates the Indian Army’s bravery in the icy heights of Ladakh.
