Director Apoorva Lakhia, known for his intense storytelling and gritty narratives, spoke highly of Chitrangda’s talent and presence, which he says made her the perfect choice for the role. He said, "I've always wanted to work with Chitrangda since I watched her amazing performance in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and then Bob Biswas. We're thrilled to welcome Chitrangda Singh to the cast of Battle of Galwan. Chitrangda brings a rare blend of strength and sensitivity to the screen as her feminine side will match perfectly with Salman Sir’s brooding but quiet strength."

Sources close to the production revealed that Lakhia was in search of someone who could portray resilience, vulnerability, and emotional depth with equal finesse, qualities Chitrangda embodied effortlessly.
