Mumbai: The makers of Salman Khan-starrer war drama ‘Battle of Galwan’ recently announced that actress Chitrangda Singh will be playing the female lead in the film.
Speaking about sharing screen space with Salman, Chitrangda shared, “A few years ago, there was a remake of a Marathi project where I was supposed to work alongside Mr Khan, directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. Unfortunately, the film never went on floors.”
Praising Salman for being a man of his word, Chitrangda continued, “I still remember Mr Khan saying there is always a next time to work together. After all these years, like he says, ‘Ek baar maine commitment kar di, toh main apne aap ki bhi nahi sunta,’ and true to his word, he honoured that commitment.”
The actress thanked director Apoorva Lakhia for casting her.
“He could’ve cast any big star, but he placed his trust in my craft. I truly appreciate his faith in me and I’m proud to be part of a story as significant and powerful as the Battle of Galwan.”
‘Battle of Galwan’ revolves around the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops.
