Reflecting on her long-awaited on-screen collaboration with Salman Khan, Chitrangda shared, “It feels incredibly special to be a part of Galwan. 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. 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.”
