Salman Khan improvised a lot, tried to do my best: Chitrangada Singh on 'Battle of Galwan'

The much-anticipated film is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict between India and China. It is directed by Apoorva Lakhia of Shootout at Lokhandwala fame.

Actor Chitrangada Singh, who will be seen alongside Salman Khan in the upcoming film Battle of Galwan, praised the superstar and said that working with him has been a great experience.

The much-anticipated film is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict between India and China. It is directed by Apoorva Lakhia of Shootout at Lokhandwala fame.

“An actor can only do what is written in the script, and as actors you have to add something. Luckily, with Salman, there is a lot of improvising, he likes to improvise on set, so a lot of moments and things are improvised. Salman is a very big name and I am trying to do my best,” Singh told PTI in an interview.

Without divulging details about her role, Singh said that as an actor, it’s her responsibility to shine through even in a supporting part.

“Being an emotional anchor in any action, or any such film is very very important. So, all that is written already in the script. Besides, if you do a good job, even if it is a five minute role, you will always be remembered, and that matters,” the actor said when asked about the length of her role in the film.

Singh said Battle of Galwan is an important film and she feels blessed to be part of it.

“I come from an army background so it is very important, and it is an important film,” said the actor, who is also awaiting the release of the Netflix film Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders.

In an interview with PTI earlier this year, Khan said Battle of Galwan is one of the most physically demanding films he has ever taken on in his career.

“It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I’ve to give more time now (for training). Earlier, I would do it (train) in one or two weeks, now I’m running, kicking, punching, and all that stuff. This film demands that,” Khan said.

The film is likely to arrive in theatres in January 2026.
