Salman Khan’s is one of the most exciting projects of this year. The film, which was earlier titled Battle of Galwan, features Salman as a soldier.
Chitrangada Singh essays the role of his wife. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the movie is based on the Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers. While there’s time for it to release theatrically, Zoom has learnt an exclusive update about Maatrubhumi.
Salman Khan’s Maatrubhumi update
A source close to Salman Khan told us, “Salman has been crystal clear right from the early meetings that Maatrubhumi was never meant to be a conventional war film. For him, it’s about showcasing the human side of a soldier, the emotional duality of living two lives, one on the battlefield and one at home. That sensitivity and clarity of thought is what truly sets him apart. He isn’t just leading a film, he’s shaping its soul with purpose, ensuring that the story connects with the audiences on a deeply personal and emotional level.”
For the unversed, Maatrubhumi was initially set to release in April. However, the makers postponed its theatrical release. Buzz is that Maatrubhumi might arrive in theatres in June. That said, an official update on the film’s release is awaited. This movie marks Salman’s first collaboration with Chitrangada Singh and director Apoorva Lakhia.
