Salman Khan's Matrubhoomi Faces Release Delays Amid Censor Board Issues

Matrubhoomi: May War Rest in Peace Faces Challenges

Salman Khan is in the spotlight due to his upcoming film *Matrubhoomi: May War Rest in Peace*. Initially named *Battle of Galwan*, the film has undergone a title change recently. However, it appears that the film is encountering further obstacles ahead of its anticipated release. Reports indicate that it has yet to be submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), leaving its release date in limbo.

Originally set for an April 2026 premiere, the film's release was delayed due to various modifications and technical requirements. There were hopes for a May 2026 launch, but this timeline now seems doubtful.

**Film Not Yet Submitted to CBFC**

According to sources, the team behind the film is still weighing their options, despite having made the necessary adjustments. A source mentioned, "Currently, neither the Ministry of Defence, the Army, nor the CBFC has reviewed the film. The team is working to figure out the next steps for a successful release."

**Significant Reshoots Completed**

In a related report from *Bollywood Hungama*, it was revealed that substantial alterations have been made to the film's plot. Initially based on a true event, the narrative has been modified to include fictional elements following recommendations from the Ministry of Defence, with director Apoorva Lakhia and Salman Khan leading these changes.

**Changes to Content Regarding China**

Sources indicate that around 40% of the film has been reshot, adding romantic scenes and backstory elements. Additionally, the Ministry reportedly still has concerns about certain aspects of the film's content, which is delaying the clearance process. It has been suggested that filmmakers were advised to avoid direct references to China. The latest version of the film reportedly does not mention China explicitly, but only the core team knows how this context has been integrated into the story.
