Salman Khan is synonymous with Eid releases, and it appears the superstar is considering bringing back that magic once again. Sources close to the development reveal that Battle of Galwan, one of the most anticipated films of 2026, may arrive on the auspicious occasion of Ramzan Eid on March 19, 2026.
What Is Battle Of Galwan About
Battle of Galwan showcases Salman Khan in a never-before-seen avatar. The first look of the film has already created massive excitement among fans, with the superstar appearing in an intense, powerful role. The war film’s shoot is currently underway and is expected to wrap up by December, making a March release technically feasible.
The Eid Dilemma
Initially, the makers were reportedly considering a June 2026 release for Battle of Galwan. However, Salman Khan is now toying with the idea of reclaiming his traditional Eid slot. A source close to the project shared that the superstar is seriously contemplating whether his war film can arrive during the holy festival.
The decision is not straightforward, though. Eid 2026 already has two major releases locked in. KGF star Yash’s much-awaited film Toxic and the multi-starrer comedy Dhamaal 4 are both eyeing the same March 19 date. If Salman Khan decides to go ahead with his Eid plan, it could lead to one of the biggest box office clashes of 2026.
Why Eid Makes Sense
The timing works perfectly for Battle of Galwan. With the shoot concluding in December, the film will have ample time for post-production and promotions before a March release. More importantly, Salman Khan’s fans have always associated him with Eid releases, and bringing the film during the festival would create tremendous buzz and an emotional connection with audiences.
The Eid Legacy Continues
If Battle of Galwan does release on March 19, 2026, it will mark Salman Khan’s 17th Eid release. The superstar’s Eid journey began with Judwaa in 1997 and includes blockbusters like Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, Tubelight, Race 3, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and most recently Sikandar in 2025.
When Will The Announcement Come
Industry insiders are waiting to see whether Salman Khan will announce the release date on his landmark 60th birthday next month or shortly before the special occasion. The announcement timing itself could create waves across the industry and among fans.
