"We request that media outlets and individuals refrain from circulating unverified information. Any official updates regarding the film will be shared by Salman Khan Films through its official channels only."

About Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace
Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, previously titled Battle of Galwan, is a war drama inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, with Salman Khan portraying Colonel Santosh Babu in the lead role.
The project was initially announced under the title Battle of Galwan. However, following geopolitical controversy and backlash in China, the makers decided to rename the film Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. The title change was accompanied by strategic revisions intended to avoid explicitly naming China while retaining the film's central narrative.
