Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi to release in 2026, new poster dismisses delay reports
A new poster for Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi has indicated the film will arrive in 2026 despite delay reports. The film directed by Apoorva Lakhia, also stars Chitrangda Singh in a key role.
Amid reports of a delay for Salman Khan's Maatrubhumi, the film's new poster has confirmed that it is on track for a 2026 release, much to the relief of fans awaiting an update. However, one detail has caught everyone's attention—the poster does not mention the director's name. Instead, it simply carries the credit, "A Film By Salman Khan Films."
The new poster comes amid reports of the film being pushed to 2027. Reportedly, the delay was due to concerns raised by the Ministry of Defence over certain portions of the film, including references to China.

Earlier this year in April, Salman Khan's war drama based on the Galwan Valley clash underwent a title change. Originally announced as Battle of Galwan, the film was renamed Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. Salman officially revealed the new title along with the first-look poster on Instagram.
The poster showed Salman Khan peering from behind a blood-soaked boulder wrapped in barbed wire, hinting at the film's intense backdrop.
About Maatrubhumi
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi is inspired by the June 15, 2020, Galwan Valley clash, in which Indian soldiers engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand battle with Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The confrontation claimed the lives of 20 Indian soldiers and remains one of the most significant military face-offs between India and China in recent history.
Salman essays the role of Colonel B Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment, who led his troops during the Galwan Valley conflict.
The film also stars Chitrangda Singh as the female lead, with Abhilash Chaudhary and Ankur Bhatia in pivotal roles. The music has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
