The uncertainty around the release date of Salman Khan’s new film Maatrubhumi continues. The movie, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, was initially titled Battle of Galwan but was later renamed Maatrubhumi. The film is based on the 2020 conflict between India and China in the Galwan Valley.

Since relations between the two countries have now improved, the Ministry of Defence reportedly had reservations about the film’s content, due to which the makers carried out reshoots by adding romantic scenes and a backstory. The latest report in Bollywood Hungama suggests that the film may not have any mention of ‘China.’

Since the core storyline itself is centered around the India–China clash, netizens and fans are apprehensive about the final output. They are worried about how omitting China will do justice to the narrative. The changing political scenario might affect the Salman starrer, going by recent developments.
