Salman Khan is undergoing rigorous training and making significant lifestyle changes to prepare for his role in the upcoming film, "Battle of Galwan". The movie is based on the clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in 2020. Khan's dedication to the role includes high-altitude workouts, a strict diet, and abstaining from alcohol.

To realistically portray a soldier and adapt to the challenging high-altitude terrain of Leh, where the first schedule of the film will be shot, Khan has enlisted a personal trainer and adopted a strict fitness regimen. A key element of his preparation involves training in a pressure chamber to acclimatize his body to the conditions of high altitude. He has also eliminated alcohol from his diet and is reducing his carbohydrate intake. After the failure of Sikandar, Khan is particularly focused on shedding fat to achieve a leaner and fitter physique for the role.

Salman Khan will be playing the role of Colonel B Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment who was killed during the Galwan Valley clash. The film will depict the events of June 15-16, 2020, when Indian and Chinese soldiers engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat at over 15,000 feet above sea level. The clash, which involved sticks, stones, and hand-to-hand fighting due to restrictions on firearms, resulted in casualties on both sides and marked the first fatalities in the Sino-Indian border conflict in nearly 45 years.

A motion poster of "Battle of Galwan" has already been released, showcasing Khan in a fierce and bloodied avatar. The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and co-starring Chitrangda Singh, aims to highlight the bravery of Indian soldiers. A preparation video shared by the director on social media shows Khan practicing for an intense fight scene. The video, though blurred to maintain secrecy, reveals Khan's hard work and dedication to perfecting his movements and physique for the role.

Khan's commitment to his roles often involves significant physical transformations. For "Battle of Galwan," he sports a moustache and short hair to embody the look of an Indian soldier. His dedication has earned praise, with many applauding his new look and commitment to the role.

Salman Khan has had a long-standing relationship with alcohol. In the past, he has struggled with alcohol consumption. Despite his past, he is now focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle for his role.
