Salman Khan is all set to turn 60 on December 27, and the excitement surrounding Bhaijaan’s milestone birthday is already running high among fans. Now, a fresh report has added to the buzz, suggesting that the celebration could become even more special with the release of the teaser for his upcoming war drama, Battle of Galwan. If true, the teaser launch would mark a powerful cinematic moment on one of the biggest days of Salman Khan’s life.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the makers of Battle of Galwan are planning to unveil the teaser on December 27, making it a birthday gift not just for Salman Khan, but also for his massive fan base. A source close to the development revealed that the team has been working on the teaser for quite some time and believes Salman’s birthday is the perfect occasion to introduce the film to the world.
“The team of the film has been working on the teaser for some time. They feel that December 27 is an apt time to release the asset,” the source said. The teaser is expected to offer audiences a glimpse into the world of Battle of Galwan, highlighting the scale, intensity, and emotional weight of the story. More importantly, it will showcase Salman Khan in what is being described as one of his most powerful and striking avatars in recent years—something fans are eagerly looking forward to.
Before the teaser drops, the makers reportedly plan to build anticipation with the release of promotional posters. “Before the teaser is out, the makers will be dropping one or two posters of Battle of Galwan as well,” the source added. These posters are expected to be released on either December 25 or December 26, setting the stage for the teaser launch the following day.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Battle of Galwan is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops—an incident that left a deep impact on the nation. The confrontation was one of the most unusual and intense military standoffs in recent history, as firearms were not used. Instead, soldiers engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat using sticks, stones, and sheer physical strength, making the incident both harrowing and emotionally charged.
The film aims to revisit this defining moment with sensitivity and scale, highlighting the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of Indian soldiers. Given the subject matter, Battle of Galwan is expected to strike a strong emotional chord with audiences and stand out as a tribute to India’s armed forces.
Salman Khan will be seen in a rugged, battle-hardened role, marking a shift from his recent larger-than-life commercial outings. Early buzz suggests that this could be one of his most intense performances in years, with the actor fully embracing a raw and grounded screen presence. The teaser is expected to offer the first glimpse of this transformation.
Joining Salman Khan in the film is Chitrangada Singh, who plays a key role in the story. In an interview with PTI, Chitrangada opened up about working with Salman and shared insights into his approach as an actor. “An actor can only do what is written in the script, and as actors you have to add something,” she said. “Luckily, with Salman, there is a lot of improvising; he likes to improvise on set, so a lot of moments and things are improvised.”
She further added that working with a star of Salman Khan’s stature is both inspiring and challenging. “Salman is a very big name, and I am trying to do my best,” Chitrangada said, reflecting the scale and seriousness of the project.
With its powerful subject, experienced director, and a major star at its centre, Battle of Galwan is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about films in Salman Khan’s upcoming lineup. The potential teaser release on his 60th birthday only adds to the significance, making it a moment fans are eagerly counting down to.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan’s future slate also appears to be taking shape. Reports suggest that the actor is in talks with acclaimed Malayalam director Mahesh Narayanan for a high-profile project, indicating that Salman is keen on exploring diverse and challenging narratives as he enters a new phase of his career.
If the teaser for Battle of Galwan does indeed drop on December 27, it will not only mark Salman Khan’s birthday but also signal the arrival of a film that promises intensity, emotion, and patriotic fervour—setting the tone for what could be one of his most memorable roles yet.
