Salman Khan's highly anticipated war drama, 'Battle of Galwan', continues to dominate entertainment headlines, with recent reports indicating a change in its release schedule. According to industry sources, the actor will not have a film release during the Eid festival this year, breaking a long-standing tradition for the Bollywood superstar.
Filming of a Celebratory Song Underway in Mumbai
Amidst the swirling rumors about the film's timeline, a new development has emerged. The production team is currently shooting a special celebratory song for the movie. A source close to the project revealed details to MidDay, stating, "It’s a celebratory song. The unit is currently filming in Gorai, after which they will move to a set that has been constructed at Golden Tobacco in Vile Parle."
The song shoot commenced on February 6 and is scheduled to continue until February 12. Once this segment is completed, a final two-week shooting schedule will wrap up the principal photography for this intense war drama.

Release Date Speculations and Challenges
The uncertainty surrounding the film's release date stems from several factors. Insiders note that pending shoots, including this song sequence, are contributing to the delay. Additionally, the film requires official clearance from the Ministry of Defence due to its sensitive subject matter.
