The caption was all about her simplicity and style, basically rolling out the welcome mat: “Simplicity and Elegance personified. Welcoming @chitrangda to the Battle Of Galwan team.” Not gonna lie, she looked straight-up ethereal.

Chitrangda jumped on X to say thanks: “Thank you so much for making me part of this .. it’s is truly special ! I look forward to working with the whole team.”

Director Lakhia—who’s kind of a boss with this gritty, intense storytelling—couldn’t stop gushing about Chitrangda. He’s been wanting to work with her since seeing Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Bob Biswas. In his words: “We are delighted to welcome Chitrangda Singh to the cast of Battle of Galwan.

She brings a unique combination of strength and sensitivity that will complement Salman Sir’s brooding yet quiet strength.”

Apparently, Lakhia was searching for someone who could convey both resilience and vulnerability. Shooting for the Battle of Galwan kicks off later this year.
