India tells filmmakers to drop ‘China-bashing’ as ties warm
India and China are improving relations after years of border tensions, leading Indian filmmakers to rework, delay, or cancel projects inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clashes following official warnings against 'China-bashing'. Bollywood actor Salman Khan's war drama 'Battle of Galwan' was renamed 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace' and required reshoots, while another film, 'The Lion of Galwan', has also been affected.
