The suspense over Salman Khan-Chitrangda Singh’s much-awaited film, Maatrubhumi, continues. The film was announced as Battle Of Galwan and was rechristened to Maatrubhumi earlier this yr. The film relies on the 2020 conflict between India and China and because the relations between the 2 countries have improved recently, the Ministry of Defence had reservations concerning the film’s content. Now we have now learned from a trusted source that as per the directive of the Ministry, China might not be mentioned within the film.
Salman Khan’s Maatrubhumi undergoes major sanitising; no China mention in new edition
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Earlier, the film was inspired by an actual event. But as per the request of the Ministry of Defence, Salman Khan and director Apoorva Lakhia reshot the film by adding a fictional spin to the story. Accordingly, he reshot nearly 40% of the film as he added some romantic scenes, backstory, etc. The makers submitted the brand new cut, hoping that they might get the NOC. However the Ministry still has apprehensions.”
The source added, “Considered one of the requests to Salman Khan is that China shouldn’t be mentioned within the film. This was communicated to the makers prematurely. The cut of Maatrubhumi, which was submitted earlier this month, has no mention of China.” Nevertheless, only those within the core team of Maatrubhumi are aware as to how the neighbouring country has been depicted or mentioned without naming it.
It now stays to be seen how the difficulty gets resolved and when the film is in a position to be released in cinemas. Bollywood Hungama had earlier reported that Maatrubhumi might arrive on May 15. Nevertheless, because of the current situation, that seems unlikely.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan is predicted to begin shooting for Dil Raju’s next. It co-stars Nayanthara and is directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Salman also has Raj-DK’s superhero film in his kitty.
