Salman shifts 'Galwan' shoot location to stay near father Salim
What's the story
Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan was hospitalized in Mumbai on February 17 due to a medical emergency. The 90-year-old was placed on a ventilator after suffering a minimal brain hemorrhage. A small procedure was conducted the next day, and the hospital confirmed that he was stable and recovering. Now, it's being reported that his son-actor Salman Khan has moved the ongoing schedule of his upcoming film Battle of Galwan from Film City to Mehboob Studio to stay close to the hospital.

More on the ongoing 'Battle of Galwan' shoot
According to India Today, the actor is currently shooting an elaborate song sequence for the film, which is expected to be completed in a few days. The shift in location ensures that the shoot continues without any interruptions while allowing Salman to be available whenever needed. A source close to the development said, "Salman didn't want the schedule to suffer, especially with a large crew involved."
Ongoing coordination
Khan is responding to treatment
Those close to the family say the actor has been closely monitoring developments, coordinating between the hospital and the set. Between shots and during breaks, he is said to remain in constant touch with doctors and family members. The source further confirmed that Khan continues to remain under observation and is responding to treatment.
Film release
Meanwhile, more on 'Battle of Galwan'
Meanwhile, Battle of Galwan is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on April 17. However, recent reports suggest a possible delay to mid-August. If the filmmakers do not address these rumors, moving the film to the Independence Day weekend could result in a major box-office clash with Sunny Deol's Lahore 1947, which releases on August 13, 2026. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film focuses on the June 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers at the border.
