Salman Khan has addressed talk of a biopic about his life. At a promotion event for his upcoming film Maatrubhumi, he said it draws on the Galwan clash, not his own story.

Asked about a film on his life, Khan said nothing in it would guarantee a hit, but plenty could hurt many people's reputations. The film was first titled Galwan and takes its cue from the 2020 Indian-Chinese clash in Galwan Valley, which caused casualties on both sides, 20 of them Indian soldiers.

He also dismissed rumours of government pressure to alter the script, standing by the film's narrative.
