Salman Khan film Matrubhoomi production status

Overview

Production for the Salman Khan war drama, ‘Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace’ (alternatively titled ‘Maatrubhumi: Me War Rest In Peace’), is entering its final stages. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film is a cinematic adaptation of the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, focusing on Colonel Santosh Babu and the 16 Bihar Regiment during the enforcement of a disengagement agreement along the Line of Actual Control.

While the project has undergone re-shoots and faced speculation regarding delays and rising budgets, current efforts are centered on finalizing visual effects (VFX). An official release date remains pending and is expected to be announced following a screening by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

As of mid-September 2026, the film remains stalled awaiting clearance from the CBFC. The delay is reportedly linked to the geopolitical sensitivity of the subject matter, which involves the conflict with China. While the film is currently slated for a 2026 release, industry sources suggest that if certification issues are not resolved promptly, the release could be pushed to 2027 due to limited theatrical availability. Makers are reportedly working with government officials to resolve these issues.
