Salim Khan, the renowned screenwriter, was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai on February 17 due to a medical emergency. The 90-year-old underwent a procedure after suffering a minimal brain hemorrhage and is currently on a ventilator. The following day, the hospital confirmed that he is stable and making progress in his recovery.

Salman Khan Adjusts Shooting Schedule

In light of his father’s hospitalization, Salman Khan has moved the ongoing filming schedule of his forthcoming project, “Battle of Galwan,” from Film City to Mehboob Studio. The actor’s decision aims to remain close to the hospital during his father’s treatment. Sources indicate that the shooting currently involves an elaborate song sequence, which is anticipated to be completed shortly.

Balancing Professional and Family Commitments

Salman’s adjustment ensures that both the film’s shooting and his father’s needs are met without any compromise. A source familiar with the situation noted, “Salman was keen to keep the schedule on track, especially with a large crew involved, while also prioritizing his father’s well-being.” The relocation allows Salman to easily step away as needed during this challenging time.

Close Monitoring of Hospital Developments

Those close to the Khan family report that Salman is actively monitoring his father’s condition and is in constant communication with medical personnel. Even during breaks in shooting, he is said to be in touch with both doctors and family members to stay informed about Salim’s health.

Upcoming Film Release Dates in Question

“Battle of Galwan” is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 17. However, there are growing speculations regarding a potential delay to mid-August. Although the filmmakers have not officially commented on this possibility, shifting the release to coincide with the Independence Day weekend could lead to significant box-office competition with “Lahore 1947,” starring Sunny Deol, which is set to premiere on August 13, 2026.

Storyline and Character Details of the Film

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, “Battle of Galwan” centers on the confrontation between Indian and Chinese soldiers that took place at the border in June 2020. Salman Khan is set to play the role of Colonel B Santosh Babu, a PVC (Param Vir Chakra) recipient known for leading the Indian troops during this pivotal clash.
