Salman Khan fans are counting days not just for his 60th birthday but for updates on one of his most-awaited films Battle of Galwan. The film has been in the news for months yet one big question remains unanswered: when will it be released? Now fresh buzz suggests that the makers may finally break their silence on a very special day. According to reports Battle of Galwan’s release date could be announced on Salman Khan’s milestone birthday. Adding to the excitement there is also strong speculation that the film’s teaser might drop on the same day turning the superstar’s birthday into a full-blown celebration for his fans. Will Salman Khan’s birthday bring the big announcement? Industry buzz suggests that the makers are keen to make Salman’s 60th birthday memorable by officially unveiling the film’s release plans. A report claims that the announcement is being timed carefully keeping both fan expectations and box-office strategy in mind. However things are not as straightforward as they seem. While Salman has traditionally been associated with Eid releases this time the festive slot may not be easily available. Why is Eid 2026 no longer a sure-shot option? Initially Battle of Galwan was being considered for an Eid 2026 release. But reports say that Dhurandhar 2 has already locked that date. And Salman Khan known for avoiding unnecessary box-office clashes reportedly has no intention of stepping on another film’s release window. A source close to the development revealed that Salman believes that if a date is already taken it’s best to move aside and find another suitable slot. According to the source “Salman is very clear in his thinking” and prefers fairness over competition. Because of this the team has started exploring other options rather than forcing an Eid release. Which release windows are the makers now considering? With Eid becoming unlikely the makers are reportedly scanning the calendar between March and June prime summer slots that suit a big-scale film like Battle of Galwan. There is also industry chatter that one major summer release may get postponed potentially opening up space for Salman’s film. The team is keeping a close watch on these developments. If a strong window becomes available they are ready to lock it in. If not they are prepared to rethink and adjust. Will the teaser reveal the release date? This is where things get even more interesting. According to insiders the team is working around the clock to finalise the date. The plan is simple; if everything falls into place soon the teaser will clearly mention the release date. However if clarity doesn’t arrive in the next few days the teaser might be released without revealing when the film hits theatres. A source shared that the team is hopeful of finalising things soon but is also prepared with a backup plan. Either way fans can expect something big whether it’s a teaser an announcement or both. What makes Battle of Galwan such an emotional project? Directed by Apoorva Lakhia Battle of Galwan is inspired by the real-life clash that took place in the Galwan Valley in 2020 between Indian and Chinese soldiers. Unlike conventional war films this story focuses on a rare and intense confrontation where no firearms were used. The soldiers fought using hands sticks and stones making it one of the most raw and emotionally charged conflicts in recent Indian history. The incident left a deep impact on the nation and is remembered for the bravery and sacrifice of Indian soldiers. Salman Khan stepping into such a powerful patriotic story has only increased expectations. Fans are eager to see him in a role that promises grit emotion and national pride. As anticipation builds one thing is certain: whether it’s a birthday announcement a teaser drop or a release date reveal Battle of Galwan is gearing up to be one of Salman Khan’s most talked-about films in recent years. And now all eyes are firmly on his birthday.
