According to a report published in Bollywood Hungama, Salman Khan is set to undergo an inspiring physical and emotional transformation for the film. The report claims that the film is not just another film for the superstar but a 'mission.' 

A source close to the development informed the publication that the superstar is committed to an intense training regimen, noting the high-altitude challenges of shooting in Leh and the physical demands of portraying an Army officer like Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu.

This prep isn't just physical; it's about doing justice to a national hero," the source said.
 
According to the source, the superstar is approaching the role with utmost sincerity, realizing the responsibility of portraying someone like Colonel Babu. The source noted that it is not just about getting the physicality right, but about honoring a legacy.
