The production banner did not reveal when the film is expected to be submitted for certification or whether its release schedule has undergone any changes.
The clarification follows an NDTV report that claimed the CBFC had withheld the certification of Maatrubhumi until further notice. According to the report, the alleged delay had cast uncertainty over the film’s planned theatrical release.
War drama is inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash
Previously titled Battle of Galwan, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace is inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops.
The film was initially scheduled for release on April 17 ahead of Eid before being postponed. Reports later suggested that the makers were targeting an August release around the Independence Day weekend. While speculation around the release continues, the production house has not made any official announcement regarding a revised release date.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salma Khan under the Salman Khan Films banner, the film stars Salman Khan as Colonel Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment, who led Indian troops during the Galwan Valley confrontation while implementing the disengagement agreement at the border. The cast also includes Chitrangda Singh in the female lead, alongside Abhilash Chaudhary and Ankur Bhatia in pivotal roles. The film’s music has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
