India tells filmmakers to drop ‘China-bashing’ as ties warm
India has reportedly advised filmmakers to cease projects that portray China negatively, particularly those referencing the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. This directive comes amid a diplomatic effort to improve relations between the two nations. Consequently, films like Salman Khan's war drama, formerly titled 'Battle of Galwan,' are being retitled and reshot, while other projects, such as 'The Lion of Galwan,' have been shelved entirely, sparking debate about creative freedom in Indian cinema.
