Salman Khan’s upcoming war drama, 'Maatrubhum', faces further delays with trade reports indicating a potential push to a 2027 release.

‘Maatrubhumi’ Release Pushed Again?
Initially scheduled to hit theatres around Eid earlier this year, the Apoorva Lakhia directorial has seen multiple postponements. The film remains uncertified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), as the producers have not yet formally submitted the project for official screening.
According to reports, the project has come under scrutiny due to its sensitive narrative based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese armed forces. With diplomatic dialogues and ongoing geopolitical considerations shaping the narrative's context, the production team is reportedly engaging with relevant government authorities to address content concerns before pursuing censor approval.
CBFC Clarification and Production Status
Addressing persistent rumours regarding censor troubles, production house Salman Khan Films previously issued a formal statement clarifying the status of the certification process:
"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."
While core filming has concluded, post-production work, specifically high-end visual effects (VFX) is still underway to refine the cinematic experience. The production team maintains that official release announcements will follow only after final clearances and board reviews are complete. ‘Bigg Boss 20’ Nominations: Scout, Aasif Khan and Rohed Khan Face Elimination Threat After Rule Violation.
Even if internal and diplomatic clearances are finalised in the near future, securing a viable release date within the current year presents a major hurdle. The theatrical calendar for the remainder of 2026 remains tightly packed with major festive releases. If pushed to 2027, the military drama which features Salman Khan alongside Chitrangda Singh and Mukesh Rishi will form part of a packed year for the actor, alongside his upcoming collaboration with director Vamshi Paidipally.
