'Battle Of Galwan': Salman Khan starrer to be POSTPONED? Makers to seek clearance from Ministry of Defence

Salman Khan had fans waiting months on end for his next big action venture - the upcoming war drama ‘Battle Of Galwan’. However, as the film's release date draws near, new reports claim that there may just be a possible delay.

With the film's theatrical release on April 17, 2026 drawing close, a new report states that the production timeline of the film has allegedly been pushed back. A report on Bollywood Hungama states that as reshoots are still underway, it could make it challenging for director Apoorva Lakhia to meet April deadline.

The report states that the team had scheduled a one-week reshoot beginning February 9 at the Golden Tobacco Factory in Mumbai and also shoot some additional scenes before principal photography wraps up. Only filming is completed, the team will then move on to commence post-production work, which could likely push the release beyond the current release window.

As per the reports, another factor contributing to the possible postponement of the film, could be the mandatory screening for the Ministry of Defence. The makers will have to obtain the approvals before they can release the film on the big screens. Thus, the report states that chances of the film meeting its mid-April release is “remote.”
