Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi not facing certification delay, clarify makers
Maatrubhumi's makers have denied reports that the film has hit a CBFC hurdle. The statement shifts attention to the film's pending certification submission and unresolved release date.
The makers of Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace have addressed reports claiming the film has run into trouble with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Dismissing the speculation, the team shared a statement saying the claims are "false" and clarified that the film has not yet been submitted for certification.
The clarification came after several reports suggested that the CBFC had withheld the film's clearance certificate until further notice. Refuting the claims, the makers said there was no truth to the reports and urged media outlets to rely only on official updates.
In a statement shared on July 4, the team said, "Any claims suggesting that Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace has encountered issues with the CBFC or that its certification has been put on hold are false. The film has not yet been submitted to the CBFC for certification. Therefore, such reports are entirely baseless (sic)."
The statement further urged people not to circulate unverified information, adding that any official updates regarding the film would be shared only through Salman Khan Films' official channels.

The film, previously titled Battle of Galwan, was originally slated for release in April but was later postponed. Since then, reports have linked the project to reshoots, creative changes and, more recently, an alleged delay in certification.
Following the postponement, industry reports suggested that the Salman Khan-starrer could arrive in cinemas during the Independence Day weekend in August. However, the makers are yet to announce a revised release date.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace also stars Chitrangada Singh in a pivotal role. The film has remained in the spotlight following its title change and release delay, with the makers' latest statement aiming to put speculation surrounding its CBFC status to rest.
