Salman Khan's upcoming film, Maatrubhumi, has faced significant delays since wrapping up shooting in September 2022. Initially scheduled for an April release, the film was pushed back due to its controversial subject matter surrounding the 2020 Galwan Valley clashes between India and China. Originally titled Battle of Galwan, the film's title was changed to Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace to avoid further geopolitical tensions, especially after criticism from China's Global Times regarding its portrayal of the events. Reshoots are currently underway in Mumbai to adjust the film's tone and content, focusing less on direct references to China. The film's release is now targeted for August 15, coinciding with India's Independence Day, although it faces competition from Rajkumar Santoshi's period drama Lahore 1947. Before its release, Maatrubhumi must secure approvals from the Indian Army and the Ministry of Defence, as well as obtain certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Despite these challenges, the team is committed to a theatrical release rather than opting for an OTT platform.
