According to Mid-Day, Salman will kick off the shooting of Battle of Galwan in early August. The source close to the production has revealed that the cast and crew will start shooting in Mumbai and then move to Ladakh.

The sources have also revealed that a large set is currently being constructed at Mehboob Studio, which is expected to be ready by the end of July.

The source said, “The Mehboob Studio schedule is crucial as [the team] has to shoot some of the early character-building moments there before the team heads to Ladakh for the high-octane action.”

“The art and production design team has been working round the clock to recreate the textures inside the studio. It’s a detailed set that will add authenticity to the story,” added the insider.

However, Salman will also be present from the first day of the shoot. The source continued, “The next leg of filming will shift to Ladakh, where the team is preparing for more physically demanding sequences. Salman has been in prep mode for the role since May.”
