Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace is eyeing a November theatrical release, according to new Bollywood reports. The film is complete, but it is yet to undergo screening by the Central Board of Film Certification, despite reportedly receiving government clearance.
The makers are considering a November date for the film's theatrical release, while the certification process remains pending. The team is looking at the date partly to avoid a clash with Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Eetha, which are also scheduled around the same period.
A tentative plan for a 13 November release has been reported, but it will depend entirely on clearance from the censor board. The date is not confirmed, and the film cannot open in theatres until the certification process is complete.
Earlier known as Battle of Galwan, the war drama is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops. The film reportedly underwent significant changes to its content and portrayal of India-China relations before receiving a No Objection Certificate from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry.
A Film Delayed Again And Again
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi stars Salman Khan alongside Chitrangda Singh. The film has faced repeated delays, leaving its theatrical release uncertain for months.
The project has been one of the most talked-about films in Salman's line-up, partly because of its subject and partly because of how long it has taken to reach theatres. Reports suggest he has moved on and may begin promotions once the makers clear the remaining issues.
For now, the November plan is only a plan. Until the censor board screens the film and grants its certificate, the release date remains tentative, and the makers will have to wait before they can lock in a day.
