· Entertainment · Bollywood Hungama, Times of India
Recent social media reports claiming that Salman Khan's war film Maatrubhumi is scheduled for a Central Board of Film Certification screening are incorrect. A source confirmed that the film remains stalled due to its connection to China and ongoing consultations with government officials. Originally announced as Battle Of Galwan, the project faced reservations from the Ministry of Defence over its content regarding the 2020 India-China conflict. Producers are working to resolve the issues, which could allow a theatrical release in 2026 or push the premiere to 2027.
Why it matters
The delay affects one of Salman Khan's high-profile cinematic releases and leaves exhibitors waiting for a major box office draw amid ongoing geopolitical sensitivities.
