SCOOP: Maatrubhumi may shift to 2027; Salman Khan expected to have 2 releases next year
The release of the Bollywood film 'Maatrubhumi', which focuses on the 2020 India-China border conflict, faces potential delays until 2027 due to government concerns. The film's star, Salman Khan, is reportedly managing the release schedule to avoid conflicts with other major films.

The delay highlights the intersection of geopolitical sensitivities and the Indian film industry's release strategies.
Add as a preferred source on Google If all had gone well, Salman Khan’s much-awaited film, Maatrubhumi , would have released in cinemas by now. The film was announced as Battle Of Galwan and was rechristened to Maatrubhumi earlier this year. The film is based on the 2020 conflict between India and China and since the relations between the two countries have improved recently, the Ministry of Defence had reservations about the film’s content and mention of China in the film, causing its delay. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama that though the makers are trying their best to release Maatrubhumi this year itself, there’s a possibility that the release of the film might be pushed to 2027.
