Background
Salman's love for bikes is well known. Over the years, he has often been spotted cycling on Mumbai roads and riding motorcycles in different locations, including Arunachal Pradesh.
He has also previously served as a brand ambassador for Suzuki Motorcycles in India and has owned iconic bikes such as the Suzuki Hayabusa.
Workwise, Salman will next be seen in Apoorva Lakhia's directorial Battle of Galwan. The film is based on the Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops in 2020.
The Galwan Valley clash took place on June 16, 2020, and resulted in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers, while the Chinese side also suffered heavy casualties.
The incident led to heightened tensions between India and China, following which the Indian Army deployed additional formations near the Galwan Valley along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh and carried out various measures, including border surveys, to prevent possible aggression.
