Tehseen Poonawalla has defended Salman Khan against online criticism of his expression in the 'Battle of Galwan' teaser. Poonawalla explained that Khan's smile represents 'calm aggression' and the composure of a soldier facing intense situations, not casualness. He argued that the expression conveys a soldier's mindset, understanding the gravity of battle and refusing to panic, with dialogues reinforcing this theme of courage and sacrifice.
