Mumbai: Superstar Salman Khan, while speaking about his upcoming war drama ‘Battle of Galwan’ during the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) match in Surat, clapped back at trolls mocking his intense look in the film’s teaser.
In the minute-long teaser released last month, Salman was seen leading his troops for war, holding only a stick in his hand.
The teaser shows the actor giving an intense look to his enemies and his troops, but trolls found the glance to be romantic.
Asked to recreate the scene at the ISPL event, Salman acknowledged the trolling. “Ab kisi ko ye samajh mein ata hai ki ye romantic look hai, lekin Colonel hu bhayya. To ye, Colonel ka look hai jo ki samajhta hai ki apne team walon ko, apne jawano ko kaisa hosla de. Vaise hi look main inko bhi de sakta hoon (growls) uss look ka koi matlab hai nahi. Us look ka koi matlab hai nahi.Bottom of Form (Now, some people think this is a romantic look, but I’m a Colonel brother. So, this is the look of a Colonel who understands how to motivate and give hope to his team and soldiers. I can also give them that kind of look (growls), but it has no meaning. It would make no sense.)”
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, ‘Battle of Galwan’ is being produced by Salman Khan Films.
Based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops, the film also stars Chitrangda Singh.
‘Battle of Galwan’ is slated to be released on April 17.
The synopsis of the film reads: “At over 15,000 feet above sea level, in one of the harshest terrains, courage was tested like never before. Battle of Galwan brings to life a defining chapter of Indian history, a conflict fought in conditions where restraint, resolve and sacrifice became the ultimate weapons.”
